Bangladesh–Kosovo relations
diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of Bangladesh and Kosovo
Bangladesh–Kosovo relations are foreign relations between Bangladesh and Kosovo. Bangladesh recognised the Republic of Kosovo as an independent state on 27 February 2017. A year later on the same date, Kosovan consul in New York Teuta Sahatqija and Bangladesh's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Masud Bin Momen signed a treaty to officially establish diplomatic relations.
Bangladesh's reaction to the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence
On 29 June 2008, Bangladeshi Chief Advisor, Fakhruddin Ahmed, during a meeting with the US Ambassador to Bangladesh, James F. Moriarty, affirmed that "Bangladesh will recognize the new European country". The Chief Advisor also assured the US ambassador that "Bangladesh is committed to lobbing [sic] Asian Muslim countries to recognize Kosovo. Bangladesh will actively contribute to the development of Kosovo". Following a meeting on 17 December 2008 between Bangladeshi Foreign Adviser Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury and Moriarty, the media were told that the question of Kosovo recognition was under "active consideration of the [Bangladeshi] government." In a press briefing on 22 August 2009, Bangladesh's Foreign Secretary Mohamed Mijarul Quayes said "At this moment, we don't feel the necessity to recognise Kosovo". He said his government would consider "many factors" before making its decision. "If we recognise Kosovo, we are certainly taking one side. But if we don't, we are not taking anyone's side," he said.

Why this record matters
The phrase “diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of Bangladesh and Kosovo” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q29467298. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2008 and 2009.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
