In a column published by Amar Desh on August 19, 2026, Mahmudur Rahman praised Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s foreign-policy approach during his first six months in office. The writer said Rahman’s decision to make Malaysia and China his first foreign destinations, rather than India, demonstrated diplomatic skill and an independent stance for Bangladesh.
The article argues that Bangladesh should maintain a self-respecting position in relations with India while recognizing India as an important and powerful neighbour. Rahman says a high-level bilateral visit is necessary, but contends it should not take place hurriedly on the sidelines of an international summit or without preparation. He attributes various political positions and motivations to BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, NCP, India and other actors.
The columnist lists unresolved matters he says require substantive discussions, including the return of Sheikh Hasina and other fugitives, the Ganges water treaty, the Teesta agreement, border killings, alleged push-ins, narcotics, smuggling, trade, travel, cricket and visas. He says a Delhi visit by the prime minister should take place this year at a mutually convenient time.
