Th
Thank you so muchPoints of Bangladesh relations
First Write about the Operation Search light and other specific things done by Pakistan such as it trying to stop Bangladesh from getting Independence
During 1970
The [[Socialism in Pakistan main political opponent ofSheikh Mujibur Rahman, came into power in the aftermath of Bangladesh's separation from Pakistan. A heavy lobbying staged by Pakistan, other states such as the China, Saudi Arabia and some other Middle Eastern nations, refused to recognize Bangladesh. In 1972, Pakistan left the Common Wealth of Nations after it extended membership to Bangladesh. For its part, Bangladesh demanded an apology from Pakistan for war crimes committed by the Pakistan Military and reparations.On the issue of Bangladesh’s application for membership to the UN, China, on Pakistan’s request, exercised its veto power for the first time to stall the move, which helped Pakistan to secure in a bargain the release of its POWs and the return of troops to their prewar positions.
In 1974, the relationship between Bangladesh and Pakistan thawed. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman withdrew the bans on some pro-Pakistan organizations that had operated before Bangladesh's independence. Rahman visited Lahore for an Organization of Islamic conference summit, and in return the Parliament authorised Bhutto to extend recognition to Bangladesh.Minister Zulfiqar visited Bangladesh and paid homage to Bangladesh's war memorial at Savar Uzpila . Both nations discussed an agreement in 1975 in which Bangladesh agreed to take up half of Pakistan's pre-1971 external debt provided Bangladesh received half of the country's pre-1971 assets and credit went unresolved.
During 1980s:
Five Pakistani heads of government have made official visits to Bangladesh since the 1980s and numerous trade and cultural agreements have been signed.Common concerns over India's regional power have influenced strategic cooperation leading to a gift of several squadron of F-16 aircraft fighter to the Bangladesh air force in the late 1980s although there was no serious effort to maintain them as they were later left to be destroyed by a cyclone.Trade between the two countries currently stands at $340 million which was described by the Deputy High Commissioner of Bangladesh, Ruhul Alam Siddique as 'negligible when taking into account the combined population' (of both countries). Areas he hoped would induce investment from Pakistan to Bangladesh included the textiles and energy sectors. In 1985 In 1985, President Zia ul Haq visited the Bangaldeshi war memorial, and said "Your heroes are our heroes. Btw these relations do not come a lot so don't take it very seriously.
