Dhaka, Jan. 4 -- The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on Sunday expressed appreciation to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar for conveying condolences on behalf of the Government and people of India following the death of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia.

In a post on X acknowledging the gesture, the BNP wrote, "Thank you, @DrSJaishankar, for conveying your condolences on behalf of the Government and people of India. We value your message and continued goodwill."

The message followed Jaishankar's visit to Dhaka on December 31, when he represented India at the funeral of Begum Khaleda Zia and met BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, her son and political heir, as part of India's condolence outreach.
