Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 31295, member: 636"] India's leader met with Bangladesh's new leader for the first time since last year. They talked at a big meeting in Bangkok on Friday. The Bangladesh press office shared this news. These two countries used to be close friends when Sheikh Hasina ran Bangladesh. But things changed after she ran away last August. Students led huge protests against her, forcing her to leave. She went to India for safety. Muhammad Yunus runs Bangladesh right. He won a Nobel Peace Prize before taking charge. He sat down with Prime Minister Modi during the BIMSTEC gathering in Thailand. Many other nearby countries joined this meeting. Thailand, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan all came. Many people in Bangladesh feel angry at India because they let Hasina stay there. Bangladesh asked India to send her back for a trial, but India hasn't answered yet. India keeps asking Bangladesh to protect the Hindu people living there. They say these groups have faced attacks since Yunus became leader. But Bangladesh claims these stories sound worse than reality. They say it's not about religion at all. An expert named Harsh Pant thinks this meeting might help fix things between the two nations. He works at a research group in India called Observer Research Foundation. Pant believes they should first focus on making their friendship stable again. Both countries share deep ties through culture and business. Their border stretches almost 4,000 kilometers long. India played a big part in helping Bangladesh become free from Pakistan in 1971. That war created Bangladesh as a country. The leaders hope that talking face-to-face can start healing the hurt feelings between their nations. [/QUOTE]
