Yunus urges Pakistan to settle 1971 issues for better ties

Bangladesh chief adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus urged Pakistan prime minister Shehbaz Sharif to settle the issues of 1971 to help Dhaka move forward with its relationship with Islamabad.
‘The issues have kept coming again and again. Let’s settle those issues for us to move forward,’ Yunus told Sharif.
Sharif said that the 1974 tripartite agreement involving Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India settled things, ‘but if there are other outstanding issues,’ he would be happy to look at them.
Yunus said that it would be nice to resolve things ‘once and for all for the future generations.’
The chief adviser and Pakistan prime minister Sharif met on the sidelines of the D8 Summit at Cairo in Egypt also agreed to strengthen relations between the two countries through increased trade, commerce and exchange of sports and cultural delegations, according to a press release issued by chief adviser’s press wing.
The two leaders also expressed their desire to extend cooperation in new areas such as the sugar industry and dengue management when they held a meeting at a hotel in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, on the sidelines of the D-8 summit.
Yunus and Sharif discussed issues of mutual interest, including the revival of the SAARC—a key feature of the foreign policy announced by the chief adviser after he took over as the head of the interim government.
Yunus also spoke about his government’s plan to carry out ‘essential reforms’ and hold the general election before mid-2026. He said that he was leading a consensus-building commission to hold a dialogue on the reforms.
Pakistan prime minister Shehbaz Sharif called for a strategic relationship between Dhaka and Islamabad.
‘We are really looking forward to strengthening our relationship with our brother-in-country Bangladesh,’ Sharif said.
He hailed Yunus for his initiative to revive SAARC and Bangladesh to work on the possibility of holding a summit of the regional body.
‘This is a top priority,’ Professor Yunus told Sharif.
‘I am a big fan of the idea of SAARC. I keep harping on the issue. I want a summit of SAARC leaders even if it is only for a photo session because that will carry a strong message,’ he said.
The Pakistan prime minister offered technical support to better manage Bangladesh’s state-run sugar mills.
He condoled the deaths from the dengue outbreak in Bangladesh and added Dhaka could benefit from Pakistan’s experience in combating the disease.
‘Our fight against dengue in Punjab about a decade ago was hailed as world-class. We can send a delegate to Bangladesh for sharing our experience with Bangladeshi officials,’ he said.
Yunus thanked Sharif for his support and hoped Pakistan and Bangladesh would continue these efforts.
Pakistan’s foreign minister, Ishaq Dar, and Professor Yunus’s Special Envoy Lutfey Siddiqi, were, among others, present on the occasion.
Siddiqi invited Pakistan foreign minister Dar to visit Bangladesh in February on his way to a Malaysia tour, and he accepted the offer.
Pakistan prime minister Sharif also invited Professor Yunus to visit their country at his convenience.

This is just an eye wash by both the leaders. Their locations, their economy and their capabilities does not allow any fruitful cooperation of mutual benefits. They have bloody past which will be very difficult for many nationalist Bangladeshis to Ignore and go ahead.

Didn't Brits gangrape Indian grandmums? You take billions of pounds of aid from the Brits.
No. No on an industrial scale as in 1971.

A container ship from Karachi reached the outer anchorage of Chattogram port this afternoon, carrying 825 TEUs of import containers from Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
This is the second time the Panama-flagged vessel Yuan Xiang Fa Zhan has brought goods to the port. On its first voyage, the ship arrived on November 11 with 370 TEUs of import containers, including 297 TEUs from Pakistan and the remainder from the UAE.
This time, the vessel arrived carrying 825 TEUs of import containers, equivalent to 780 containers. According to customs and port sources, 699 TEUs came from Pakistan and 126 TEUs from Jebel Ali port in the UAE.
Major portions of the goods from Pakistan this time include refined sugar and dolomite, a raw material for glass factories. Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) Secretary Md Omar Faruk stated that the vessel arrived at the outer anchorage around 5:00pm and would take berth at a port jetty tomorrow morning.
The ship brought 780 containers, 675 from Pakistan and 105 from the UAE. According to the cargo manifest submitted at Chittagong Customs House, out of the 780 containers loaded from Pakistan, the vessel brought 285 containers of refined sugar weighing 7,400 tonnes from Karachi port. These consignments were imported by Pran Dairy Limited, Savoy Ice Cream Factory Limited, Shehzad Food Products Ltd, and M/s Broadway Marketing Co.
Different glass factories, such as Nasir Glass Industries Ltd, Nasir Float Glass Industries, and Akij Glass Industries Ltd imported 171 containers of natural dolomite and loose dolomite lumps.
Industrial raw materials like soda ash were imported in 122 containers from Pakistan. Besides, 47 containers of fabrics were imported by various export-oriented readymade garment factories, and nine containers of fresh potatoes weighing 2,620 tonnes were also imported from Pakistan.
The cargo from Jebel Ali port in the UAE included home and kitchen appliances, dishwashers, refrigerators, lubricant oil, fresh dates, and firefighting equipment.
Dubai-based container ship operating firm Feeder Lines DMCC introduced the new service, connecting six countries using the vessel. The vessel's route is Jebel Ali (UAE)-Karachi (Pakistan)-Chattogram-Belawan (Indonesia)-Port Klang (Malaysia)-Mundra (India)-Jebel Ali (UAE).
Regensea Lines Ltd, a concern of Karnaphuli Limited owned by former environment, forest, and climate change minister and Awami League lawmaker Saber Hossain Chowdhury, is the local agent of the ship.
The vessel is expected to take away over 1,000 TEUs of empty containers from Chattogram for its next ports.

In the old days before the Suez Canal, merchant ships would round the Horn of Africa.
Now in 2025, Bangladeshi dinghies will go around the horn of India.
And maybe get a horn gratis too in the endeavour ...
You know exactly where.
