Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman (leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, which returned to power following the ousting of Sheikh Hasina) is eager to visit India but is holding off until a concrete agenda is established through official-level talks, a Bangladeshi diplomatic source told The Hindu on Wednesday. A key driver of urgency is the Ganga Water Treaty — a 1996 agreement governing shared river flows between the two countries — which must be renewed before the end of December or risk lapsing, potentially straining bilateral ties further. Beyond the treaty, Dhaka is seeking progress on restoring full visa services, lifting trade restrictions, and securing Indian assistance with Bangladesh's acute energy shortage, all of which a successful visit would need to deliver as tangible outcomes for Rahman's domestic audience.
