India says it is ready to discuss all issues with Bangladesh, even after the proposed consular meeting was delayed.
External Affairs Minister Randhir Jaiswal made it clear the delay is not about former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's recent request for travel documents, just a scheduling snag.
Bangladesh rejects Sheikh Hasina passport request
Hasina recently asked for a passport so she could return.
Bangladesh's interim government wanted consular talks to sort out travel and other matters, but its deputy foreign minister rejected her request and pushed again for extradition.
For now, India did not accept the proposed Nov. 17-18 dates because of scheduling issues but says the consular dialogue will be held at a mutually convenient date.
