Nepal, Aug. 23 -- Pakistan's foreign minister flew to Bangladesh on Saturday as the nations, once bitter enemies after they split in 1971, seek to rebuild ties with regional power balances shifting.

Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar is the most senior Pakistani official to visit Dhaka since 2012, with Islamabad calling it a "significant milestone in Pakistan-Bangladesh relations".

The two Muslim-majority nations are expected to sign several agreements including on trade on Sunday.

Pakistan's foreign ministry said Dar would meet with Bangladesh's interim leader, Muhammad Yunus.

Analysts say neighbouring India, which fought a four-day conflict with Pakistan in May, will be watching closely.
