In a significant diplomatic move, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will embark on a two-day state visit to India starting Friday. This will mark the first incoming bilateral state visit since the formation of the new government in India following the Lok Sabha elections.

Sheikh Hasina, along with other leaders from India's neighbourhood and the Indian Ocean region, had previously attended the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union council of ministers.

The visit is set to feature wide-ranging discussions between Modi and Hasina on Saturday, focusing on a series of cooperative agreements spanning sectors such as security, trade, energy, and connectivity. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) underscored that this visit is pivotal in advancing strategic ties between the neighboring nations.
