New Delhi, April 9 -- India and Bangladesh on Wednesday agreed to take forward the normalising of ties after a period of unprecedented strains, including resumption of existing mechanisms to address differences and bolster trade and energy cooperation, as Bangladesh foreign minister Khalilur Rahman met his counterpart S Jaishankar and other top leaders. Rahman, who made a stopover in New Delhi en route to Mauritius to participate in the Indian Ocean Conference, is the first minister to visit India since Tarique Rahman's Bangladesh Nationalist Party swept the general poll in February. The Indian side has made a concerted outreach to the BNP to rebuild ties that hit an all-time low under the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus. During Rahman's meetings with key Indian interlocutors, the two sides decided to address contentious issues such as former premier Sheikh Hasina's presence in India and the arrest of two Bangladeshi nationals in West Bengal for alleged involvement in the killing of radical leader Sharif Osman Hadi in such a manner that they do not impede progress in other aspects of the bilateral relationship, people familiar with the matter said. "The focus was on strengthening key aspects of the relationship, including people-to-people ties and trade, which will be done by resuming contacts through existing mechanisms," a person said on condition of anonymity. Rahman reiterated Dhaka's request to extradite Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal as they were given the death penalty by the International Crimes Tribunal, according to a statement from Bangladesh's foreign ministry. He also thanked the Indian government for apprehending the suspected killers of Hadi. "Both sides agreed that the arrested individuals will be returned to Bangladesh," the Bangladeshi statement said....
