Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar arrived in Dhaka on a two-day official visit. He was received at the airport by Bangladesh’s Foreign Secretary, Ambassador Asad Alam Siam, Pakistan’s High Commissioner, Imran Haider, and other senior Bangladeshi officials.
The trip, described as long overdue, had earlier been postponed twice — once in May following heightened Pakistan-India tensions after the Pahalgam attack.
“On the invitation of the government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Muhammad Ishaq Dar will pay an official visit to Bangladesh on 23-24 August 2025,” the foreign office said in a statement.
During his stay in Dhaka, Dar is scheduled to meet Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus and Adviser for Foreign Affairs Touhid Hossain. “The whole range of bilateral relations and several regional and international issues will be discussed during these meetings,” the statement added.
