Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud has highlighted several unresolved issues, such as the killing of a Bangladeshi border guard and the Teesta water-sharing deal in a discussion with his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar. “There should be a solution [to the water-sharing deal] after the Indian general election,” he told the media at a discussion in Delhi on Thursday. It is the first trip to India by a representative of the Bangladesh government since the Jan 7 polls. The foreign minister met Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval at New Delhi’s Sardar Patel Bhawan on Wednesday morning. He attended a discussion at the Foreign Correspondents Club of South Asia on Thursday evening titled ‘Bangladesh-India Current Relations’, where he fielded questions from journalists.
