DHAKA, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman told India's envoy on Monday that there was a need to create a "conducive environment" to boost ties between the neighbours, as Dhaka continues to press New Delhi over the politically sensitive issue of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's exile in India.
Rahman's remarks underline his six-month-old government's efforts to stabilise relations with its largest neighbour while seeking progress on issues that have remained major irritants since Hasina's ouster in August 2024.
While Rahman has sought good relations with India since coming to power, Monday's comments are his first that stress the need to improve conditions to boost ties.
Rahman made the comments during his first meeting with the new Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Dinesh Trivedi.
Rahman "emphasized the need to create a conducive environment to further advance the bilateral relations between the two countries", the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement after the meeting.
