Big decision of Indian Government! Indian Ambassador to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi gets the status of Union Minister Major decision by the Government of India! Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi granted the rank of Union Minister.

The Government of India has taken a very shocking and big decision, taking the policy of Neighbor First to a new level. India’s High Commissioner (Ambassador) to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi has been given the status of Union Cabinet Minister. A special official order in this regard has also been issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). This step of the government is being seen in diplomatic circles as a very extraordinary and far-reaching strategic decision.

Why is this special order of the Home Ministry special?

Generally, diplomats representing the country on foreign soil get protocol according to their cadre and seniority. But in the case of Dinesh Trivedi, the Home Ministry has given special relaxation in the rules and directly handed him the status of Union Minister. After this order, now the facilities, allowances and most importantly – his protocol status to Trivedi will be equivalent to that of a Cabinet Minister of the Government of India.

Dinesh Trivedi’s stature will increase in India-Bangladesh relations

The direct and clear meaning of this decision is that the Indian government is giving top priority to its bilateral relations with Bangladesh. With Dinesh Trivedi getting the status of Union Minister, the weight of his talks and decisions in Dhaka will increase significantly. By being in direct contact with the top leadership of India, they will be able to take major strategic, business and security related decisions on the spot, which will eliminate the pendency of files between the two countries and speed up the work.

Strategy to break China’s siege in the neighborhood!

Experts believe that this is a big masterstroke by India to counter China’s increasing activism in South Asia and especially Bangladesh. By giving this powerful status to Dinesh Trivedi, New Delhi has made it clear that India’s relations with Bangladesh are far above any other diplomatic mission. This decision will make it easier to take quick decisions on sensitive issues like border security, Teesta water dispute, and trade corridors.
