US Ambassador to Bangladesh Brent T. Christensen met Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi at the Indian High Commission in Dhaka on Thursday.

A source at the US Embassy confirmed the meeting to UNB but said the details of their discussion were not known. The source only confirmed that the meeting took place in the morning.

Christensen arrived in Dhaka on January 12 this year, while Trivedi took up his post in June.

The meeting comes amid a politically sensitive period in Bangladesh, with Dhaka seeking the extradition of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been staying in India since August 5, 2024.

Meanwhile, Hasina has pledged to return to Bangladesh in December.
