The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ishaq Dar left for an official two-day visit to Bangladesh at the invitation of the Bangladais government.
The trip, described as long awaited, had been postponed twice – once in May after the increased Pakistani -Indian tensions after the attack by Pahalgam.
“At the invitation of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Senator Muhammad Ishaq Dar, will pay an official visit to Bangladesh on August 23, 2025,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
During his stay in Dacca, Dar should meet the chief advisor to Professor Muhammad Yunus and the foreign affairs advisor Touhid Hossain. “All bilateral relations and several regional and international questions will be discussed during these meetings,” added the press release.
