The two nations have had connections for several centuries, particularly due to a commonality through the religion of Islam. During the reign of Sultan Iwaz Shah in 1221, a khanqah was constructed for the Muslim preacher Makhdum Shah in Birbhum (located in West Bengal, India).[1][2] This construction was facilitated by a man named Ibn Muḥammad al-Marāghī whose ancestors came from Maragheh in present-day Azerbaijan.[3] This suggests that people from Azerbaijan had been migrating to Bengal throughout this period.[4]
Azerbaijan declared its independence on December 30, 1991; on February 26, 1992, Bangladesh became the 13th nation to officially begin diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan.
