First in 13 years: Pakistan FM visits Bangladesh to reset ties
Visa exemption, cultural exchange among several MoUs finalised
Dhaka, Updated At : 03:45 AM Aug 24, 2025 IST
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar arrived in Dhaka on Saturday for a rare two-day visit, aimed at rebuilding ties with Bangladesh following the ouster of longtime Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
A special flight carrying Dar — the most senior Pakistani leader to visit Bangladesh since 2012 — landed in Dhaka, with Islamabad describing the trip as a “significant milestone” in bilateral relations. Bangladesh’s Foreign Secretary Asad Alam Siam received him at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.
Hina Rabbani Khar was the last Pakistani foreign minister to visit Dhaka, in November 2012, when she invited then premier Hasina to a summit in Islamabad.
