Sheikh Hasina's Stay In India Will Not Hurt Ties: Bangladesh Government Adviser

Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain said Bangladesh will "always try to maintain good relations" with India.

A key adviser of Bangladesh's interim government on Monday said that deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina's extended stay in India will not hurt bilateral relations and Dhaka will always try to maintain good relations with New Delhi.

Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain made the remarks when asked whether bilateral ties with India would be affected if Ms Hasina's stay in India gets prolonged.

"This is a hypothetical question. If someone stays in a country why the relations with that particular country would be affected? There is no reason for that," he said, emphasising that bilateral relations are a big matter.
