Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be on a four-day official visit to India from tomorrow.
The External Affairs Ministry of India said, Prime Minister Hasina will hold bilateral consultations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar will also call on Prime Minister Hasina.
She will also make a courtesy call on Indian President Droupadi Murmu.
On September 7, Hasina will address a meeting with top business leaders, and visit Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Rajasthan before returning to Dhaka on September 8.
The officials concerned say they are finalising details of the visit when about a dozen MoUs might be signed with energy, trade, economy, connectivity, water sharing, security and defence getting high importance.
Apart from the long-term agreement on importing fuel oil from India to Bangladesh, Dhaka and Delhi will discuss ways of ensuring an unhampered supply of foodstuff like wheat, onion, pulses and spices to Bangladesh.
Earlier, Bangladesh had considered buying Russian crude oil, but that was not possible as it didn’t have the technology to refine the Russian crude oil. This will be the second visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina since October 2019.
