Bangladesh “reiterated” its demand for former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s extradition during talks in Delhi, said Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman in Port Louis, Mauritius, on Friday (April 10, 2026), also outlooking a visit by newly sworn in Prime Minister Tarique Rahman to India.
The request had been made by the previous caretaker government under the India-Bangladesh extradition treaty and Mr. Khalilur Rahman’s comments confirm the new BNP government intends to take the process forward. Mr. Rahman held talks with National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar during his visit to Delhi this week, before travelling to Mauritius to attend the 9th Indian Ocean Conference.
