Need to see the source of the clip. Anyone can claim anything.
Also this guy Salah uddin shoaib Chowdhury and his weekly Biltz has a confirmed link with Mossad. Below article shows his love for Israel.
I believe absolutely nothing coming out from the mouth of Zionist slaves.

Dar to undertake landmark trip to Dhaka
This is going to be the first visit by any Pakistani foreign minister since 2012Kamran Yousaf
January 03, 2025
ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will travel to Bangladesh next month in a groundbreaking development that shows warming ties between the two countries after the ouster of the pro-Indian government in August last year.
This is going to be the first visit by any Pakistani foreign minister since 2012. Dar told a news conference on Thursday that he would be visiting Dhaka in February at the invitation of his Bangladeshi counterpart.
Dar was giving an overview of the major foreign policy events and achievements of the government and future challenges.
The foreign minister also confirmed that Bangladesh Chief Executive Dr Muhammad Yunus also accepted Pakistan's invitation to travel to Islamabad at mutually agreed dates.

Hina Rabbani Khar was the last foreign minister who travelled to Dhaka to extend an invitation to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid for the D-8 summit.
Relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh remained strained during the 15-year term of Sheikh Hasina. The Awami League leader never reciprocated several attempts by Pakistan to mend ties as she was aligned with India.
However, after her ouster in August last year following the bloody uprising, relationship between Pakistan and Bangladesh has seen a considerable improvement. There have been a number of exchanges between the two countries at the highest level.
Bangladesh has also lifted restrictions on Pakistani exports, allowing increase in the bilateral trade. Moreover, the two countries started direct trade through the sea.
Dar termed Bangladesh as "brother country" saying Pakistan would extend all possible help to Dhaka.

Massive opportunity for Pakistan to increase its exports to BD by billions of US dollars every year - everything from cotton, fruits and wheat etc.
BD should give priority to imports from Pakistan as over that from India if the cost is similar.

We should improve our relations with Bangladesh and maybe apologize for 1971 as well.
Yes Bangladesh should recognize mukti bahini as well and crimes against Urdu speaking biharis.

How Bangladesh-Pakistan reconciliation impacts India
Murali Krishnan in New Delhi
December 31, 2024
The strengthening maritime and military ties between Dhaka and Islamabad are reshaping the security dynamics of South Asia, with major implications for New Delhi's strategic interests and regional stability.

Since the appointment of Muhammad Yunus as Bangladesh's interim leader in August after a student-led movement toppled Sheikh Hasina's government, Dhaka and Islamabad appear to be on the path to rapprochement.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Yunus agreed to deepen bilateral cooperation in all areas of mutual interest after the two leaders met on the sidelines of a conference in Cairo in December.
Sea links and military ties
The establishment of direct sea links, strained since the 1971 independence war when Bangladeshi nationalists broke away from West Pakistan, has marked a historic thawing of relations.
Bangladesh's interim government also removed previous restrictions that mandated physical inspections of cargo from Pakistan.
Some media reports claim that Pakistan will begin training the Bangladesh Army in February 2025, strengthening military ties between the two nations. Bangladesh will also reportedly join Pakistan in the "Aman 2025" joint naval exercises at Karachi port.
As Pakistan bolsters ties with Bangladesh, there are concerns about potential security threats in the region, with India closely monitoring developments that have the potential to reshape the power dynamics in South Asia.

Strategic implications for India
Dhaka's ties with New Delhi have frayed since the ousting of Hasina, who had India's backing and now lives in exile there.
Foreign policy experts and diplomats highlight that India must navigate a complex geopolitical environment marked by instability and security threats in its northeastern states.
While New Delhi closely monitors these developments, it is also ramping up security along its border with Bangladesh.
"There is no doubt that relations between Bangladesh and Pakistan have improved overall. This shift has security implications for India's northeastern states," Shanthie Mariet D'Souza, founder of the Mantraya Institute of Strategic Studies, told DW.
New Delhi has long been concerned about human trafficking, infiltration and militant insurgencies along the frontier, particularly as Bangladesh borders the Indian states of West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram, which are prone to violent outbreaks.
"The important questions to consider are whether these strengthening ties are simply a reaction to India's tactical pressure, or if they are part of a larger design to destabilize India. If we assume the latter is true, can the present regime in Dhaka afford to pursue such a policy? The answer is no," said D'Souza.
Bangladesh seeks India's extradition of ousted PM
Pakistan's growing influence in Bangladesh
According to D'Souza, it remains unclear whether Yunus' policies will resonate with Bangladesh's bureaucracy, for whom the interim government is a stop-gap arrangement.
"New Delhi needs to have its eyes and ears on the ground to craft policies to deal with the rapidly changing internal and external dynamics in the region," she added.
Ajay Bisaria, a former Indian high commissioner to Pakistan, told DW that India's longstanding relation with its neighbors, particularly Bangladesh, focuses on fostering prosperity in exchange for addressing India's security concerns.
"This understanding is being challenged by the new regime in Dhaka," said Bisara, who added that Pakistan's efforts to rebuild security ties with Bangladesh and counter Indian influence could destabilize the regional security balance.
"While India will closely monitor this evolving dynamic, it may also need to check Pakistan's growing influence in the eastern periphery through proactive military postures and security measures," Bisara noted.
Weapon transfers raise concerns
Specifically, the new alliance between Pakistan and Bangladesh poses a significant threat to India's strategic interests, particularly to the Siliguri corridor, often referred to as the Chicken Neck.
The geopolitically sensitive passage connects northeastern Indian states to the rest of India through a narrow strip of Indian territory measuring 20-22 kilometers (12-14 miles) at its narrowest section.
Bangladesh's Yunus hints at amending the constitution
India fears China might aim to establish its presence near the corridor under the guise of development work with Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, India has ramped up security along its border with Bangladesh, deploying technological solutions and conducting high-level Border Security Force inspections to address vulnerabilities and curb infiltration and smuggling along unfenced border areas.
"India would have security concerns about transfer of weapons and explosives to Bangladesh for use by Islamic terrorists who have been set free by the Yunus-led interim government," Pinak Ranjan Chakravarty, a former high commissioner to Bangladesh, told DW.
Chakravarty claimed that the transfer of these weapons to insurgent groups in India could create significant security issues.
However, Sreeradha Datta, a Bangladesh expert from the Jindal School of International Affairs, told DW that though Indo-Bangladesh ties are presently going through a difficult period, tempers will settle down once an elected government is established in Bangladesh.
"Though Bangladesh and Pakistan are showing signs of engagement, it is India that holds a more vital position for the former," said Datta.
"Both sides need to overcome the present rhetoric and get down to business. Once the bilateral engagement resumes, Indian security concerns will certainly be taken into cognition and this will happen only when the neighbors choose to engage and not raise unnecessary issues," Datta concluded.
Will Modi's new term ensure India's confidence in Asia?

Can you list the basket of goods that would undercut India in terms of price and ease of shipping?
Remember, large portion of Indo-Bangla trade is between individuals. People literally chuck stuff over the fence.
The only way I see it getting to the billions is if BD buys Pakistani made weapons. But will the military agree to it?
Inflation is extremely high and no sign of coming down - so indulging in India hedging will face a sharp pushback from the masses.

BD imports will surge anyway as the economy grows.
Cotton is by the largest one and BD already imports around 500 million dollars worth of Pakistani cotton.
There are other sectors in agriculture where Pakistan could be competitive - even though it has to travel around India it is not like shipping across the world.
In reality it is up to Pakistan now to get itself into a position to market its competitive products to BD. BD government will no longer act as any blockage.
Of course imports from India will still remain much larger.

Come on dude! Don’t be like them! Be specific like you usually are!
Also, Pakistan needs cotton for its own textile industry. Does it really have the capacity to export more?
Indian agro goods will always be cheaper due to logistics and the mega subsidy to their farmers from central government.
As I said, pls be specific.
If Pakistan had excess agro products - it would sell in big numbers to the Arabs and Iran - no?
But India dominates those exports as well!
