Pakistan PM’s Call to Yunus: A Move to Strengthen Ties with Bangladesh Amidst Political Shift?

Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has reached out to Dr. Muhammad Yunus, advisor to Bangladesh’s interim government, sparking speculation about a potential shift in relations between the two nations. The call, which focused on reviving bilateral ties, comes at a time when Bangladesh is experiencing a transition period following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. While Sharif expressed condolences for the recent floods in Bangladesh and lauded Yunus’ contributions to the country’s development, the call has also fueled concerns about possible Pakistani influence in Bangladeshi politics. Analysts believe that a strengthening of ties between Pakistan and Bangladesh could lead to increased influence of extremist groups, potentially impacting neighboring regions like India.
