Bangladesh PM-Designate Tarique Rahman To Take Oath Tuesday
Bangladesh's Prime Minister-designate Tarique Rahman is likely to take oath on Tuesday, according to sources. The ceremony is expected to witness the presence of international representatives, with India among 13 countries invited to attend the swearing-in event.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been invited by Rahman's party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). However, sources indicate that due to prior commitments, PM Modi may not be able to attend. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar is likely to represent India at the oath-taking ceremony.
The development is being seen as significant in the context of India-Bangladesh diplomatic ties.
