The Awami League has made eight pledges focused on foreign affairs in its election manifesto. Two of these promises seem to be of special importance. One is about continuing development cooperation with the US, United Kingdom, European Union, Japan, Canada and other developed countries, while in the other, AL is looking to enhance and strengthen relations with China, Russia and South America in terms of development financing. Vows to do. In South America, I don’t really see any country that is capable of providing development financing. At the same time, the terms and conditions of loans taken from China and Russia are not so easy. Therefore, our dependence on developed countries and institutions for loans with easy terms will remain the same. Thus, relations with the West will remain as important as ever for development financing. It remains to be seen how easy things will be after the elections.
India, Russia and China have strongly supported the government on the election question on different grounds. In fact, all of them have indirectly made Awami League clear about their choice again. On the other hand, the elections that are taking place are certainly not being as inclusive, free and fair as the US and European countries wanted. Meanwhile, the US has imposed visa restrictions on individuals responsible for obstructing the democratic process and threatened to impose economic and trade sanctions if they violate labor rights. As a result, Awami League leaders at different levels and ministers at different times launched sharp attacks against the US. In fact, it cannot be claimed that the government’s relations with America and the Western world are going well now.
