Indian FS Vinay Mohan Kwatra is scheduled to undertake a significant bilateral visit to Bangladesh this Saturday, fostering diplomatic ties between the two nations.
During his visit, Kwatra will engage in crucial discussions with his Bangladeshi counterpart, Masud Bin Momen, and pay a courtesy call on Foreign Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud. Additionally, Foreign Secretary Momen will host a reception in Kwatra’s honor, reflecting the importance of the diplomatic exchange.
The discussions are expected to encompass a wide spectrum of bilateral relations, indicating a concerted effort to enhance cooperation and strengthen ties between Bangladesh and India.
This visit holds particular significance as it lays the groundwork for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s anticipated trip to New Delhi. Scheduled for either the last week of June or the first week of July, following India’s general elections, the visit underscores the commitment to furthering bilateral relations.
Bangladesh and India share a robust friendship, characterized by a deepening of ties during the BJP government’s tenure in India. The upcoming visit signifies a continued commitment to nurturing and advancing this relationship, as evidenced by the Congress Party’s pledge to bolster ties in its election manifesto.
