Foreign Correspondents’ Club of South Asia

The Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia (FCCSA) is an organization that serves as a platform for foreign journalists reporting on the South Asian region. It provides a space for networking, discussions, and events related to regional news and politics. The FCCSA has recently gained prominence due to its hosting of a planned virtual address by Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. Hasina, who was ousted in 2024 and is currently in exile in India, was expected to speak from New Delhi. Her planned appearance has sparked a diplomatic row between Bangladesh and India, with Bangladesh requesting clarification from India regarding its stance on allowing political activities by a "fugitive." This event highlights the FCCSA's role in facilitating discussions on significant regional political figures and issues, making it a current point of interest in international relations concerning South Asia.
