Amid Bangladesh’s economic crisis, Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus has sought financial help from a Muslim country. After distancing himself from India, Yunus is now hoping for investment and cooperation from this country after China and Pakistan.
Bangladesh is going through an economic and political crisis since the fall of Sheikh Hasina and it is very difficult for it to come out of it without India. After distancing itself from India, Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus of Bangladesh is sometimes seen pleading for help from Pakistan and sometimes from China.
Bangladesh’s relations with India have always been good, but the new government’s inclination towards China and Pakistan has created a rift between them. China and Pakistan are also unable to do any good for Bangladesh. Now Bangladesh has sought help from Qatar. Mohammad Yunus met Qatar’s ambassador Seraya Ali Al-Qahtani and appealed to Qatari businessmen to look for opportunities in his country.
