India has nothing new to say about the request to return Sheikh Hasina to Bangladesh, said Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This information was given in a report by the Indian media 'Times of India' on Friday (January 3).

The report said that it received a message from the Bangladesh government about a week ago to return Sheikh Hasina. However, he mentioned in the press conference that there is nothing new to say about Sheikh Hasina.

In addition, regarding former ISKCON leader Chinmoy Das, he said that India hopes that Chinmoy Das will get justice.

It is noteworthy that on December 23, Bangladesh sent a letter to India to send back former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on charges of crimes against humanity.

After a long decade, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will visit Bangladesh next month. Bangladesh's relations with the country have deepened since the ouster of Sheikh Hasina.

The last time a foreign minister from the country visited Dhaka was in 2012. This information was reported in a report by the country's media outlet The Express Tribune on Friday (January 3).

Dar said at a press conference last Thursday (January 2) that he would visit Dhaka in February at the invitation of the Bangladeshi Foreign Adviser. He said that the visit would discuss the development of the foreign policies of the two countries as well as future challenges.

The foreign minister also said that Bangladesh's chief adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus has also been invited to visit Islamabad to further strengthen mutual relations. He has accepted the invitation.

Previously, Hina Rabbani Khar visited Bangladesh as the last Pakistani foreign minister in 2012. She visited Dhaka at that time to invite the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for the D-8 summit.

The Express Tribune says that during Sheikh Hasina's 15-year tenure, relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh were strained. The Awami League leader did not reciprocate Pakistan's multiple attempts to establish relations with India.

Relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh have improved considerably since Hasina was ousted from power in August last year and fled to India following a bloody uprising. There have also been several developments at the highest levels between the two countries.

In the meantime, Bangladesh has announced an increase in bilateral trade and lifted the ban on Pakistani exports. In addition, the two countries have also started direct trade through sea routes.

Ishaq Dar called Bangladesh a 'fraternal country' and said that Pakistan will provide all kinds of assistance to Dhaka.

A court has issued an arrest warrant for South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol.

The order was issued on Tuesday (December 31). Reuters reports

Investigative officials said he was impeached and removed from office on December 3 for imposing martial law.

The Seoul Western District Court issued the arrest warrant, the Chief Corruption Investigation Officer (CIO) said. The court had authorized Yoon's arrest for further investigation.

This is the first arrest warrant for a sitting South Korean president, according to local media reports. The CIO did not comment on the court's arrest warrant. The court also declined to comment on the matter.

It is also unclear how the arrest warrant against President Yoon will be enforced. South Korea's presidential security service said in a statement on Tuesday that the arrest warrant will be implemented in accordance with due process.

The CIO said the court also gave permission to search President Yoon's residence. Although police had previously failed to search his residence, especially the president's security service, it did not help.

Yoon Suk-yeol could face a criminal charge of sedition.

Meanwhile, Han Dak-su, the acting leader of South Korea's ruling People Power Party, told Yonhap News Agency on Tuesday that it would be wrong to detain a president in this way.

Former US President (39th) Jimmy Carter has died. A BBC report has confirmed the news of the death from a source close to the former president.

Later, he not only assumed the responsibility of the US head, but also won the Nobel Peace Prize. He was in power from 1977 to 1981. During this time, America made great progress economically and diplomatically though many people were disappointed with him when he left the White House. However, after winning the Nobel Prize, he regained the hearts of the countrymen.

He was born on October 1, 1924. President Carter reached the 100-point mark in October of this year.
