Summit sideline talks hold hope

BSS, Dhaka
The 15th Non-Aligned Movement summit in Egypt is widely seen by analysts as fruitful and crucial for Bangladesh in terms of its relations with foreign nations including neighbours.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina returned home Friday night from Egypt attending the summit.
Several foreign relation experts said Sheikh Hasina's election, as the NAM vice-chairman for Asian Region, would brighten the country's exposure abroad while her talks on the summit sidelines particularly with Indian premier Manmohan Singh yielded a very positive result against the backdrop of controversial Tipaim ukh Dam.
"The bilateral meeting between Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh on the sidelines of the summit is expected to bring about a positive outcome for Bangladesh over theTipaimukh issue,” Prof Imtiaz Ahmed told news agency BSS.
He said Foreign Minister Dipu Moni earlier clarified Dhaka's stance on the issue while the "no harm clause" of international

conventions and laws regarding trans-boundary rivers are now expected to get priority in the project since Manmohan assured Hasina that India would not do anything which could harm Bangladesh.
"This assurance will also help her new government overcome the embarrassing situation regarding the Tipaimukh issue," Prof Imtiaz said.
Prof Anwar Hossain of Dhaka University saw Hasina's being elected vice chair of the 118-member global forum, representing 56 percent world population, as a very good exposure for Bangladesh.
"Her (Sheikh Hasina] election as NAM vice chairman is a new addition to the summit and 1 see it very positively," he said and added that her talks with Manmohan could bring a fruitful result over the Tipaimukh issue if successful diplomatic manoeuvring could be made as follow up measures.
"The significance of Manmohan Singh’s gesture is immense."
The two-day NAM summit concluded in Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh Thursday with adoption of Sharm El Declaration, stressing closer solidarity among the member states to address

the global challenges and promote world peace and development.
This was the first such high-profile international conference Sheikh Hasina joined since she assumed office.
Addressing the general discussion of the summit, Sheikh Hasina highlighted issues like daunting challenges of climate change that exposed countries like Bangladesh to a critical state alongside the wbiTdteOhomic meltdown, international terrorism and food security.
On the sidelines of the summit, the Bangladesh premier also met her Pakistan counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani as she passed a very busy time in Egypt holding a series of bilateral meetings with NAM leaders.
She met Philippines President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Malaysian premier Najib Abdul Razak, Nepalese premier Madhov Kumar Nepal, Jordanian premier Nader Al-Dahabi, Chairman of State Council of Oman Yahya bin Mahfoudh al-Mantheri, Crown Prince of Bahrain Sheikh Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya and Qatar's Foreign Minister Khalid Mohammad Al Afia during her four-day visit.
