Dhaka, Nov. 30 -- Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain on Sunday said, Bangladesh's relations with Pakistan had been intentionally kept poor for many years.

"Certain decisions caused relations with Pakistan to deteriorate compared to before" he said while addressing a meeting organised by the DCAB in the city.

"The issues that existed before 2009 remained unchanged for the next 15 years. Pakistan did not apologise earlier, nor did they later; the issue of asset division was unresolved before, and still unresolved. But during that time, some deliberate decisions were taken that worsened relations".

"Our decision now is to establish a normal relationship with Pakistan - nothing beyond that" he added.
