On April 8th, Bangladesh's new foreign minister, Kallilu Ramon, just wrapped up the first official visit to India by their government, pushing hard. For more fuel imports, his ties start to warm up again. He met with India's external affairs minister, supermanium Jay Shankar, petroleum minister, hearty Singh Puri, and national security adviser Ajit Doval. Over two days, focusing on energy deals and security ties. Some think India for recent diesel shipments and ask for bigger supplies of fuel and fertilizer. Puri said they'd look at it favorably right. Away, especially since Bangladesh relies heavily on imports, hit by global disruptions. Relations tanked last year when ex-prime minister Shay Kasina fled to New Delhi amid protests, leading to visa halts, port curbs, and tensions over, attacks on Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. Now, with prime minister Tariq Ramon in office since February's big election win, they're easing visas for medical and business travel, renewing.

Kalls for Haseena's extradition, and building on recent goodwill like Jay Shankar's trip for Kalidazia's funeral, looks like cooperation's picking up. Steam across the board. From around the world, powered by AI, this is Global News Today.
