According to analysts, Dinesh Trivedi, due to his political experience as well as diplomatic communication skills, is continuing his efforts to further strengthen the existing atmosphere of trust between the two countries. However, the long-term impact of his initiatives will depend on the mutual political goodwill of Bangladesh and India and the implementation of bilateral decisions.
