Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is likely to visit India in October to enhance further bilateral relations between the two friendly neighbours, Foreign Minister Dr A K Momen said.
We are working on the date and agenda. Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will visit Bangladesh on August 20-21,” Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen told reporters on Sunday.
Momen said his Indian counterpart was set to arriving in Dhaka on August 20 on a two-day visit and Dhaka and New Delhi would accomplish some formalities regarding his visit.
Asked what would be the agenda of the two premiers meeting, the foreign minister said the foreign ministries of the two countries would prepare the agenda covering all bilateral and regional issues including sharing of water in 54 common rivers and the Teesta in particular.
Momen, however, said Dhaka was always hopeful about the deal but simultaneously feared it could be delayed further until the Indian central government reached a consensus with the West Bengal state government.
He said the Rohingya crisis was also likely to be an issue of the summit while New Delhi by now conveyed Dhaka that the repatriation process should start immediately.
