The government would send Foreign Secretary M Shahidul Haque to New Delhi in January with a view to boost the bilateral relationship between the two country.
“I am expected to visit New Delhi this month [January] at the invitation of Indian Foreign Secretary [S Jaishankar] and we are working on the date,” the foreign secretary told the Dhaka Tribune.
Jaishankar came to Dhaka in March and again in June with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A foreign ministry official seeking anonymity said the foreign secretary was supposed to go India on January 3 on a two-day visit, but it was postponed due to some unavoidable circumstances.
“The Indian side proposed a new date in the last week of the month and we are working on that,” he said.
The foreign secretary has engagement in the last week as he will be busy with the second review of Sustainable Compact meeting to be held on January 28.
Bangladesh and India relationship took a dramatic positive turn after the Awami League came to power in 2009. It continued even with the change of regime in New Delhi 2014.
This is for the first time in many years that the two countries are enjoying a relationship of complete trust, understanding and confidence.
