Does he want to 'merge' the two wings ... east and the west ?
Pathetic tone and gesture of a man who is supposed to represent his country - 'desh' !!
Settle issues of 1971 war: Bangladesh's Muhammad Yunus to Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif
Bangladesh's interim Chief Adviser, Muhammad Yunus, met Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif during the D-8 Summit in Egypt, urging resolution of grievances from the 1971 war while discussing trade, culture, and bilateral cooperation.
What is there to settle and how ??
According to a statement from the office of the Chief Adviser, Yunus emphasised the importance of resolving the longstanding issues stemming from Dhaka's 1971 bloody separation from Islamabad. These historical grievances, he noted, have repeatedly hindered progress in bilateral relations.
Bangladesh's interim leader Yunus, met Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Egypt's Cairo.
He had "agreed to strengthen relations" with Islamabad.
The two leaders engaged in high-level talks on the sidelines of the D-8 summit in the Egyptian capital.
Bangladesh, once a part of Pakistan, and after much torture and high handedness by the west Pakistani leaders and military, it split from the country in a deadly 1971 war with the help of India.
Under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League, Bangladesh consistently demanded a formal apology from Pakistan for the atrocities and genocide committed during the 1971 Liberation War.
However, the political landscape appears to have shifted, with the interim government in Dhaka adopting a stance that suggests a growing closeness to Pakistan.
In response, Prime Minister Sharif expressed optimism about enhancing the relationship between Pakistan and Bangladesh and stressed the need for a strategic partnership, describing Bangladesh as a "brotherly country".
"We are really looking forward to strengthening our relationship with our brother-in-country, Bangladesh," Sharif stated during the meeting. The Prime Minister also extended an invitation to Professor Yunus to visit Pakistan in the near future.
Both leaders men "agreed to strengthen relations between the two countries through increased trade, commerce, and exchange of sports and cultural delegations", as per the statement from Yunus' office.
