External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met his Bangladesh counterpart Touhid Hossain Monday evening and discussed bilateral ties between the two countries on the sidelines of the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
“Had a meeting with Foreign Affairs Adviser Md. Touhid Hossain of Bangladesh in New York this evening. The conversation focussed on our bilateral ties,” Jaishankar said in a post on X.
Jaishankar met Hossain for the first time since Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus took charge as the chief adviser of an interim government following the ouster of Bangladesh’s former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
Earlier in the day, Jaishankar also met his counterparts from the G4 countries, reaffirming the grouping’s commitment to urgent reform of the UN Security Council through text-based negotiations.
The G4 comprises Brazil, Germany, India, and Japan. Jaishankar, who is in the US on an official visit, also met his Japanese counterpart Yoko Kamikawa, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Brazil’s Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira.
