PM Tarique Rahman likely to visit Delhi next week: NDTV
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman is expected to visit New Delhi in the second half of next week, with preparations already underway in both capitals, sources in Delhi and Dhaka told NDTV.
If finalised, it would be Tarique Rahman's first visit to India since becoming prime minister and could mark an important step towards repairing ties between the two neighbours.
Prime Minister Tarique is expected to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the proposed two-day bilateral visit. Their discussions are likely to cover trade, connectivity, energy, border management and regional security, although the detailed itinerary is still being finalised, according to NDTV.
India had earlier invited Rahman to visit New Delhi soon after he took office in February.
Both New Delhi and Dhaka would be watching the meeting between PM Modi and Tarique Rahman closely.
Tarique Rahman's return to power has altered the political equation in Bangladesh and also compelled India to recalibrate its approach to Dhaka.
Since the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government in August 2024, the two countries have seriously strained their relations. Since then, New Delhi and Dhaka have had several differences, including over Hasina's presence in India and Bangladesh's request to extradite her.
