"Bengal defamed in the name of Sandeshkhali": Abhishek Banerjee
Bangladesh Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmood arrived in New Delhi on Wednesday on his first official visit to India after assuming charge in the new Bangladesh government. Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar invited him. Mahmood's visit to the country from February 7-9 will review progress across a wide range of bilateral relations and set an agenda for future engagement.
“A warm welcome to FM @DrHasanMahmud62 of Bangladesh on his first official visit to India,” the official spokesperson of MEA, Randhir Jaiswal, wrote on X.“India-Bangladesh’s strong partnership will get further impetus with this significant visit,” he said.
Notably, this is Mahmud’s first foreign visit after being sworn into the new Bangladesh government following Sheikh Hasina’s historic victory, securing a consecutive fourth term as Prime Minister.“The visit reflects the high importance and priority both countries attach to their bilateral relationship,” the MEA said.
