While no official reason has been provided, sources suggest that domestic constraints and evolving policy priorities in Bangladesh may have influenced the decision. Speculation also points to the upcoming national elections in Bangladesh, with the government focusing on internal reforms and judicial independence to address domestic criticism.
Indian officials expressed understanding of the decision and reiterated their commitment to future collaborations. The cancellation does not signal a breakdown in judicial ties, as both countries have a history of cooperation in law and governance.
Experts note that such training programmes are vital for fostering institutional exchanges and enhancing judicial expertise. The cancellation may temporarily halt these efforts but is unlikely to affect the broader relationship between India and Bangladesh.
Observers emphasize the importance of continued dialogue to ensure that such collaborations resume at a later stage, contributing to the long-term strengthening of the judiciary in both countries.
