Renewed ties

Pakistan and Bangladesh have established the first-ever direct maritime link between the two countries, a development poised to enhance bilateral trade and commerce. Dhaka’s seeming strategic pivot from New Delhi to Islamabad prompts significant questions regarding the extent of Indian proxy influence in the region. Bangladesh’s recent surge in public goodwill reflects a noteworthy shift, signalling a renewed and promising intent towards forging closer, more amicable ties with Pakistan than ever before. This initiative holds the potential to foster new regional alliances while overcoming long-standing historical grievances.
