Former Union Minister Dinesh Trivedi was on Monday (April 27, 2026) appointed as India's next High Commissioner to Bangladesh.
New Delhi's decision to send a veteran politician to Dhaka comes at a time both sides are looking at repairing the bilateral ties that came under severe strain during the tenure of Bangladesh's interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus.
Mr. Trivedi is expected to take up the assignment shortly, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a brief statement.
He will succeed Pranay Verma, who has been appointed as New Delhi's next Ambassador to Belgium and the European Union (EU).
