Following her historic fourth consecutive term win in Bangladesh, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina expressed gratitude to India, saying, "India is a great friend of Bangladesh.

She recalled India's crucial support during her six years in exile after the assassination of her father, 'Bangabandhu' Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Emphasizing bilateral resolutions to past issues, she commended the strong relationship between the two neighbors.
