China-Bangladesh relations: A new path or new worry?
Chief advisor of Bangladesh’s interim government, Muhammad Yunus was recently on a four-day official visit to China, the first bilateral engagement since assuming power.
The Border Security Force (BSF) intercepted 10 Bangladeshi nationals along the Indo-Bangladesh border under the North Bengal Frontier, foiling an infiltration attempt. They were subsequently handed over to the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) through a flag meeting as a goodwill gesture.
According to a senior BSF official, alert troops intercepted eight Bangladeshi nationals from Dinajpur district, Bangladesh, on January 19. They were stopped while illegally crossing the international border near the village of Manikganj in Jalpaiguri. During preliminary questioning, they revealed their intention to seek shelter in India.
