The 8th Indian Ocean Conference (IOC 2025) is going to be held in Oman on February 16-17. Bangladesh Foreign Affairs Advisor Md. Towhid Hossain will attend this conference. He will meet Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar there.
Bangladesh's concerns about various Indian activities will be conveyed in the meeting. Especially the issues of border tension, attacks on diplomatic missions, anti-Bangladesh propaganda in the Indian media and creating instability centered on Sheikh Hasina will be highlighted.
An official of the Foreign Ministry said that Bangladesh wants good relations to be maintained, but there are concerns about some of India's recent activities. Dhaka will give a clear message to Delhi - that relations should not deteriorate further.
The meeting will raise objections to the cessation of border killings and the construction of a barbed wire fence on the zero line. In addition, Dhaka will also call on the fugitive criminals of Bangladesh who are sheltering in India not to conspire against the country.
In addition, the Foreign Affairs Advisor of Bangladesh will also meet the Foreign Minister of Oman as part of the visit. Issues of improving bilateral relations, including the welfare of expatriates, will be discussed.
Overall, Bangladesh wants to further consolidate its diplomatic position in the upcoming conferences and bilateral meetings in Oman. Now it remains to be seen how positively India and Oman respond to these discussions.
