Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday held wide-ranging talks with his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina on further deepening overall ties between the two countries in diverse areas including defence and security, trade and connectivity. According to reports, the focus of the talks was to significantly expand the areas of cooperation between the two countries.
Around six-seven pacts are likely to be signed in areas like transport, connectivity, capacity building and culture when the two prime ministers meet at Hyderabad House. The Bangladeshi Prime Minister is on a four-day visit to India.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar, in a weekly press conference, said that the talks will revolve around trade and connectivity, development cooperation, people to people contact, culture and other issues of mutual interest.
PM Modi had previously met the Bangladeshi premier on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York last month.
