Dhaka, Feb. 7 -- South Asia affairs expert Michael Kugelman has said that Bangladesh's next government will face not only domestic policy challenges but also increasing external concerns.

He mentioned tense ties with India, uncertain relations with the new Trump administration in the United States and a border with Myanmar now controlled by the rebel Arakan Army as external worries.

"Things won't get any easier for Dhaka after elections, whenever they are held," said Kugelman who writes Foreign Policy's South Asia Brief.

He spent last week in Dhaka, where the legacy of Sheikh Hasina's father, former President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, once had loomed larger than life.
