Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi has expressed optimism that Prime Minister Tarique Rahman should visit India much sooner. Speaking at a dinner in Dhaka hosted by Masud Jamil Khan, Ireland's honorary consul, Trivedi stated that direct engagement between the leaders of the two countries can help resolve bilateral issues. He described both Tarique Rahman and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as people's persons and suggested that their meeting could sort out outstanding problems.

Trivedi acknowledged that Bangladesh and India are sovereign states with their own challenges, differences, and disagreements, but he stressed that these could be addressed through dialogue and mutual respect. He previously described his first meeting with Tarique Rahman as fruitful and confirmed that India's invitation for the prime minister to visit remains in place.

Masud Khan noted that the partnership between the two nations currently covers trade, investment, connectivity, energy, education, culture, security, development cooperation, and people to people ties. Trivedi also called for greater cooperation in healthcare and security during India's 80th Independence Day celebrations at the Indian High Commission in Dhaka.
