Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s visit to Dhaka should not be viewed through the prism of bilateral relations or politics, Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain has said, adding that whether the visit would help ease tensions between the two countries would be clear in the future. He made the remarks while responding to journalists’ questions at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday. Touhid Hossain said representatives from all South Asian countries had attended the program, including the Indian foreign minister. We should not try to find more meaning than that,” he said, urging against interpreting the visit from an interstate or political perspective. Asked whether there was any private meeting with Jaishankar, the adviser said there was no scope for a one-on-one discussion.
