Leaders of BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) held a meeting with Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar at the Pakistan High Commission on Saturday. BNP was represented by Abdul Moyeen Khan, Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, Selima Rahman, Altaf Hossain Chowdhury, and Shama Obaid. Jamaat’s delegation was led by Nayeb-e-Ameer Abdullah Muhammad Taher, while NCP was represented by its member-secretary Akhtar Hossain. Speaking after the meeting, Taher said discussions covered regional trade, Muslim world relations, and the need for Bangladesh to maintain balanced diplomacy with neighbors. He remarked, “For the past 15 years, Bangladesh’s foreign policy has been one-sided. Good relations with all neighbors are necessary.” Akhtar Hossain added that opportunities now exist to normalize historically strained ties between Bangladesh and Pakistan, while also raising concerns about public sentiment over 1971. BNP representatives did not make public comments after the meeting.
