On the 1971 war, Bangladesh again surrounded Pakistan, demanding forgiveness and said- ‘No wounds do not heal yet

Bangladesh on Sunday (August 25, 2025) raised the pending issues in front of Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, apologizing for the 1971 war. Dar is the most senior leader of Pakistan to visit Dhaka since 2012.

Dar reached Dhaka on Saturday on a two -day visit to Bangladesh. Her aim is to improve the relationship with Bangladesh after the long -time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has removed from the post. Dar interacted with M Tauheed Hussain, the foreign advisor of the interim government of Bangladesh.

Problems of 54 years difficult to solve in a single day

Tauheed Hussain told reporters after a meeting with Dar, “We have raised unresolved issues, such as forgiveness or regret for 1971, claims on assets and the case of trapped Pakistani citizens.” He said that it would be wrong to expect that the problems of 54 years will be solved in a single day.

The foreign advisor of the interim government of Bangladesh said at a press conference, “Both countries have presented their own status on these issues.” Dar said that unresolved issues of 1971 were resolved twice. In 1974, in 1974, in the tripartite talks of New Delhi in India and then later, the then President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf, resolves the issue of massacre during his visit to Dhaka. He spoke on this publicly with an open mind.

Five MoU signed

Hussain said that an agreement and five MoUs (MoUs) were signed between the two countries. Hussain said that both countries have agreed that historical issues should be resolved through discussion to carry forward bilateral relations.
