Bangladesh’s interim leader, Muhammad Yunus, has stirred controversy in India after remarks he made during a four-day visit to China, his first state visit outside of South Asia. Why did Yunus refer to India's northeastern states, known as the Seven Sisters, as “landlocked,” and why did he ask China to extend its influence in the region? How significant is the timing of the state visit during the 54th anniversary of Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan, which the country won with Indian military support against Chinese-supported Islamabad. What does all of this tell us about growing China-Bangladesh cooperation?
