Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain discussed issues of mutual interest with Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday evening in New York.

This was the first high-level interaction between Bangladesh and India since the fall of the Hasina-led government on August 5.

On the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly, Touhid and Jaishankar talked about strengthening the long-standing ties between the two neighbours.

Bangladesh's foreign ministry in X yesterday said the meeting focused on the two countries partnership.

Jaishankar tweeted, "Had a meeting with Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain of Bangladesh in New York this [Monday] evening. The conversation focused on our bilateral ties."

Bangladesh's ties with India strained after the interim government took over last month.

Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus wrote to India for a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but the meeting could not be held as Modi was scheduled to leave New York before Yunus' arrival there.
