Minister (EAM) of India Dr S Jaishankar will pay a day-long visit to
Dhaka on Thursday to hand over an invitation letter from Prime Minister
Narendra Modi to his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina to visit India.
"Yes, the EAM will pay a one-day visit to Dhaka on
Thursday. He will carry a letter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to invite
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to visit India," said India's Foreign
Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla here on Monday.
When his attention was drawn to Bangladesh media reports on
Jaishankar's upcoming Dhaka visit, Shringla, the former ambassador of India to
Bangladesh, told media that "it is confirmed that the EAM will visit Dhaka
on Thursday and it will be a one-day visit".
Shringla was responding to some queries of journalists after
an award-giving ceremony for logo and backdrop design competition held on the
occasion of Bangladesh-India Friendship Day (Moitri Dibosh) at the Bangladesh
high commission here. He joined the function as the chief guest.
Jaishankar will arrive in Dhaka in the morning on Thursday
by a special aircraft and return to New Delhi on the same day evening.
However, diplomatic sources in New Delhi said during the
visit Jaishankar will meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and hold a bilateral
meeting with his Bangladesh counterpart AK Abdul Momen. He will also join a
dinner to be hosted by Abdul Momen.
When contacted another source familiar with the development
said the visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to India at the invitation of
Modi may happen in the first week of July this year.
The visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is considered a
crucial one at a time when many developments have been happening in the
regional and international arena during the last couple of months. Many pending
issues are likely to be discussed during the visit, he added.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina last visited New Delhi from 3
to 6 October to attend the Indian Economic Summit of the World Economic Forum
(WEF). During the visit, the Bangladesh Premier held bilateral talks with her
Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
Besides, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had visited
Bangladesh from 26-27 March at the invitation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
to join the celebration of the golden jubilee of Bangladesh's independence, the
birth centenary of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
and the 50th years of establishment of Bangladesh-India diplomatic
relations.
Indian President Ram Nath Kovind paid a state visit to
Bangladesh from 15-17 December 2021 at the invitation of his Bangladesh
counterpart President Abdul Hamid to attend the 50th victory day celebrations
of Bangladesh.
India considered the high-level visits and the present
India-Bangladesh ties as a "Sonali Adhwai" or Golden Chapter of
bilateral relations between the two countries.
