An opinion piece published on July 5, 2026, discusses the evolution and strategic importance of foreign policy in global politics, emphasizing how nations shape their policies based on self-interest and changing geopolitical realities. The author highlights that Bangladesh’s guiding principle of “friendship to all, malice toward none” may not fully reflect its national interests in the current context. The government’s revised “Bangladesh First” policy is described as a pragmatic attempt to adapt to modern challenges, though its implementation remains questionable.
The article contrasts Bangladesh’s foreign policy with Vietnam’s post-1975 approach, noting that Vietnam’s independent and strategic policy helped it achieve progress across governance, infrastructure, industry, and education. In contrast, Bangladesh’s policy weaknesses, particularly in managing relations with India, have delayed fair outcomes such as the Teesta River water-sharing agreement. The author argues that a more competitive and strategic stance could strengthen Bangladesh’s position in trade and regional diplomacy.
The piece concludes that Bangladesh must overcome external pressure and prioritize its own interests to ensure true independence in policymaking and sustainable national development.
