Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain dismissed Pakistan’s claim that issues from the 1971 Liberation War had already been resolved. “We disagree with Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar’s remarks. Bangladesh still demands settlement of financial accounts and a clear apology for the genocide,” Hossain said. He added that while Bangladesh seeks normal ties with Pakistan, unresolved matters cannot be brushed aside. The bilateral meeting also discussed health cooperation, trade expansion, and Pakistan’s interest in exporting energy. Broader regional issues, including the Rohingya crisis and the Gaza conflict, were also addressed.
