A press released by the interim government in Dhaka said that both sides discussed key "bilateral issues". Rahman, who is helming the Bangladesh delegation for the seventh NSA Colombo Security Conclave (CSC) meeting, also discussed the work of the conclave during the huddle. Bangladesh has invited Doval to visit Dhakha "at his convenience".

The meeting took place just days after Bangladesh's Ministry of External Affairs urged India to deport Sheikh Hasina, who was handed a death sentence by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) for alleged “crimes against humanity.

As hundreds of families who lost loved ones in 2024 protests welcome verdict, many wonder if Hasina will face justice.

Legal experts now argue that the court had no authority to try Hasina for crimes allegedly committed in 2024. Its jurisdiction, they say, does not extend beyond the 1971 war.

Hasina’s son Sajeeb Wazed calls her Bangladesh conviction political, criticises Yunus-led government for lacking elections and popular support, cites China shift.

Hasina continues to live in India at an undisclosed location. She fled to the country soon after her government was taken down in August 2024

Bangladesh's ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed said that they have not received any threats from the United States, while remarking that the new US government under Donald Trump has a different outlook towards the country.
