Following the welcome, the prime minister of Bangladesh noted the close links between New Delhi and Dhaka and said she always feels thrilled to be in India. "Friend to us is India. It gives me joy to visit this place every time, in part because we regularly recognise India's participation to our liberation battle. We get along well, work together, and are generally cordial "the Prime Minister of Bangladesh stated today.
As Bangladesh Prime Minister Hasina arrived at Rashtrapati Bhavan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed her. Hasina and PM Modi clasped hands. S Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs, was also present.
Rashtrapati Bhavan was decorated to welcome Hasina. She will meet Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and President Droupadi Murmu today.
Bangladesh is an important partner under India's "Neighborhood First" policy, hence yesterday marked the start of Hasina's four-day visit to India.
The Bangladesh Prime Minister met with S. Jaishankar, the Minister of External Affairs, shortly after his arrival in New Delhi on Monday to address matters of mutual interest. She also went to Delhi's well-known pilgrimage spot, Nizamuddin Aulia Dargah.
When PM Hasina arrived in New Delhi on Monday, she was greeted by Darshana Jardosh, Minister of State for Textiles and Railways. The important visit by Hasina would further solidify the complex ties between India and Bangladesh.
The dancers who welcomed the Bangladeshi prime minister also struck up a conversation with them. Upgrading defence cooperation, extending regional connectivity projects, and creating stability in South Asia are issues that are high on the agenda.
She is making her first trip since the diplomatic ties between the two countries reached 50 years in 2021. Additionally, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's founding father, celebrated his 100th birthday and the 50th anniversaries of the country's independence.
In 2021, PM Modi travelled to Bangladesh. Twenty capitals around the world, including Delhi and Dhaka, celebrated Maitri Diwas. Since 2015, the two countries' prime ministers have convened 12 times.
