India's Foreign Secretary Rushes to Dhaka Amid China threat | Vantage with Palki Sharma
India's foreign secretary travelled to Dhaka for a two-day trip, the first by an Indian official since Sheikh Hasina's re-election in January this year. The visit comes amid multiple moves by China, aimed at securing a strategic foothold in Dhaka. Last month, China and Bangladesh announced their first-ever joint military drill. New reports also say that Dhaka is seeking a $5 billion soft loan from Beijing to bolster their foreign exchange reserves. In a statement released after the visit, India called Bangladesh its "leading partner in development". Dhaka's statement emphasised on the Teesta river, which has been a flashpoint between the two countries. Palki Sharma tells you more.
