PM likely to visit India in September
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who returned from New Delhi on Monday after attending the oath-taking ceremony of her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, is likely to visit India again in September, according to sources.
According to sources in the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi, Hasina’s trip to Delhi on June 21-22 was being talked about, but since she just returned from India, her next visit Delhi would be delayed.
Hasina had a meeting with Modi at the Rashtrapati Bhaban after his swearing in on June 9. She also invited Modi to visit Bangladesh.
Some Indian media indicated that Modi may visit Bangladesh by the end of this month. But sources in the Bangladesh High Commission said they were not aware of this.
Hasina is likely to visit Beijing on July 9-12.
Her China visit was underscored after Chinese Ambassador Yao Wen met her recently. Wen reiterated China’s commitment to boosting investment in Bangladesh and enhancing bilateral relations.
Hasina is likely to join the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, which will begin on September 10. She is also likely to attend the BIMSTEC summit in Thailand in October, according to diplomatic sources.
