Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to leave here for New Delhi on June 21 on a two-day state visit at the invitation of her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
This will be the first bilateral visit by any head of government to India after the BJP-led alliance formed its government for the third consecutive time.
A press release of the Prime Minister's Press Wing today said that during the visit both the premiers will have a tête-à-tête (one to one meeting) followed by Delegation level talks.
During the visit both Bangladesh and India would sign several agreements and Memorandum of understanding to strengthen the existing bilateral ties further.
This visit will be Sheikh Hasina's second trip to the Indian capital in less than 15 days, as she was among the dignitaries invited to Modi's swearing-in ceremony on June 9.
In the evening, Minister of External Affairs of India Dr. S Jaishankar will call on the Prime Minister at her Place of Residence.
On Saturday morning, the red carpet will be rolled out at Rashtrapati Bhavan to receive Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina by her Indian counterpart through a Ceremonial Reception where the National Anthems of Bangladesh and India will be played. She will also inspect the Guard of Honour.
