[ALOCHONA] WikiLeaks - Hasina prepares for 'transformational' visit to India

Classified By: Ambassador James F. Moriarty.  Reasons 1.4 (B) and (D)

 

 SUMMARY ======== 

 

¶1. (C)  Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed will arrive in New Delhi January 10 to begin her most important foreign visit since assuming office in early 2009. Recognizing the inertia within Bangladesh's bureaucracy, the Prime Minister entrusted her own office with preparations for the visit, and her advisors tell us they expect the results to ""transform"" Indo-Bangladesh relations.  Hasina and her team believe that New Delhi would like to use improved Indo-Bangladesh relations to send a message to other neighbors regarding India's willingness to take a new approach to regional issues.  The Prime Minister does not, however, seem to have sufficiently focused on the need to sell any agreement to a skeptical audience at home.  Improved India-Bangladesh ties would serve U.S. interests by bringing greater stability and prosperity to a region that can use more of both.  PM's Office Finalizes Preparations for Hasina's India Visit
