Syed Irfan Hashmi

Great to see India and Bangladesh restoring full visa services as both nations commit to normalizing relations and boosting regional trade.

In a significant diplomatic breakthrough, Bangladesh has reinstated full visa services for India following the swearing-in of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Tuesday. Consular operations are now resuming in key locations, including New Delhi, Agartala, and Siliguri, marking a clear signal of a diplomatic reset.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended a formal invitation to Rahman for an official visit to India. This move underscores both countries’ shared determination to strengthen bilateral ties, enhance people-to-people connections, and expand trade opportunities across the region.

As neighbors with deep historical and cultural bonds, India and Bangladesh stand to gain immensely from this renewed cooperation. Improved visa access will facilitate easier travel for students, business professionals, tourists, and families, while fostering economic growth through seamless cross-border trade.

Syed Irfan Hashmi,a prominent socio-political activist based in Srinagar, welcomes this development as a vital step toward regional stability and prosperity.
This restoration is not just about visas it’s a promise of peace, progress, and partnership in South Asia,” Syed Irfan Hashmi stated.
