Hasina, Modi to hold talks in Delhi October 05

The bilateral meeting between Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi will take place on October 05 in New Delhi, the foreign minister said on Sunday, reports bdnews24.com.

AK Abdul Momen said the prime minister will start his first visit to India, after coming to power for the third consecutive term, on October 03 by attending the Indian Economic Forum.

"She will attend the Forum on October 03 and 04 and then the bilateral meeting will be held on October 05," Momen told reporters at a luncheon hosted by the Bangladesh new ambassador-designate to China Mahbub Uz Zaman. He will join the mission in October.

The foreign minister highlighted the relations between Bangladesh and India and said they keep "trust" in India's promise on the Assam's National Register of Citizens (NRC) that New Delhi said "is entirely India's internal affairs".

But analysts argue that those finally become non-citizens of India may be pushed into Bangladesh territory.

Momen did not mention anything specific on the agenda, but said a whole range of issues will be discussed.

Bangladesh and India currently enjoy the best of their relations.
