Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will start her four-day official visit to Japan on Saturday night at the invitation of her Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe.
Quoting Prime Minister's Office sources, BSS reported.
A VVIP flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines carrying the prime minister and members of her entourage is scheduled to take off from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 12am.
The flight is expected to reach Haneda International Airport in Tokyo at 1pm (Japan time) on Sunday.
During the visit, the prime minister would hold talks with her counterpart at the Prime Minister's Office on Monday.
The two prime ministers would later sign a joint statement which would be followed by a joint press announcement.
Sheikh Hasina will join a dinner to be hosted by the Japanese prime minister on the same day. She will also have an audience with Japanese Emperor Akihito at Tokyo Imperial Palace on Monday.
Deputy Prime Minister of Japan and President of Japan- Bangladesh Parliamentary League Taro Aso and Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida will separately call on the premier.
The "Friends of Bangladesh" and the members of Bangladesh- Japan Parliamentary League will also meet Sheikh Hasina.
The prime minister is scheduled to attend a seminar to be organised by Japan Bangladesh Committee for Commercial and Economic Cooperation (JBCCEC) at JETRO Headquarters.
Sheikh Hasina will visit Waseda University in Tokyo and address students of the prestigious university. She will also visit the Japan Press Club and have an interaction with Japanese journalists.
In addition, she will address a community reception at Hotel Okura and attend a lunch to be hosted by the JBCCEC at Tokyo Kaikan.
The PM will give an interview with the NHK, Japan's national public broadcasting organisation.
Hasina is expected to return home on May 29.
"Through the visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Dhaka-Tokyo bilateral ties would reach to a new height," Japanese Ambassador to Bangladesh Shiro Sadoshima told diplomatic reporters on Wednesday.
“The visit is expected to further bolster Bangladesh-Japan relations in all areas of cooperation.”
Japan, the largest development partner of Bangladesh, has been significantly contributing to the socioeconomic development of Bangladesh through financial assistance in the sectors like poverty alleviation, physical infrastructure, power generation, human resources development and others.
The trade gap between Bangladesh and Japan which was once tilted heavily in Tokyo's favour is squeezing as Bangladesh's export to Japan is boosting gradually in the recent time.
Bangladesh exported goods worth $750.26 million to Japan in 2012-13 fiscal year and imported goods of $1168.7 million in the same fiscal. The volume of export and import in 2011-12 was $600.53 million and $1455.9 million respectively.
This will be Sheikh Hasina's first bilateral visit to any country after the present Awami League government took office through the January 5 elections and the third official visit to Japan as the prime minister.
Her first visit to Japan was in 1997 and second in 2010.
