Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain emphasized that maintaining strong bilateral relations with three major countries – the US, India, and China – and addressing the Rohingya crisis will be key priorities for Bangladesh in 2025.
“Priority is to resolve the Rohingya crisis, priority is to keep good relations with those three countries, and priority is to advance our economic and diplomatic efforts while ensuring stability,” he told reporters at his ministry on January 1.
Touhid stated that the US, India, or China have no lesser priority when responding to a question about whether one country has a particular priority over another.
“We place equal priority on maintaining ties with these three countries as our various interests are deeply aligned with them,” he said, adding that these countries also have their interests in maintaining good relations with Bangladesh.
The foreign adviser expressed hope that Dhaka’s relations with these global powers will be further strengthened by the end of this year.
