Dr Hasan Mahmud, the newly appointed Foreign Minister, announced on Monday (15 January) that he plans to conduct his first bilateral visit to India in the near future.

Following a meeting with Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma, the foreign minister stated that his Indian counterpart, S Jaishankar, had invited him to visit India and congratulated him on his appointment as foreign minister.

He stated that India has always supported Bangladesh's democratic process.

"There were conspiracies in 2014." In 2018, there were attempts to make the election problematic and doubtful. But India sided with us. "You're all aware that India performed well in the previous elections," he remarked.

The foreign minister will travel to Uganda to attend the NAM's multilateral conference on January 17.
