Indian foreign secretary arrives today
Indian Foreign Secretary Subrahmanyam Jaishankar arrives here today on a two-day visit.
He is expected to land in Dhaka around 1.45pm.
Jaishankar is scheduled to call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali and hold a bilateral meeting with his Bangladeshi counterpart.
His visit aims at firming up deliverables ahead of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's state visit to India likely in April.
The Indian foreign secretary will depart Dhaka tomorrow morning for New Delhi by a Jet Airways aircraft.
Diplomatic sources said Jaishankar, during his meeting with Hasina, is expected to brief her about the Indian government's plan on the visit.
“The Indian foreign secretary will convey Prime Minister Narendra Modi's message to her about New Delhi's readiness to welcome her,” said a diplomatic source, adding that this time she would be given a huge reception by the Indian government.
