Indian Foreign Secretary Dr S Jaishankar arrives in the city today (Monday) morning to discuss a wide range of bilateral issues between Bangladesh and India, reports UNB.
Though his stay will be close to 24 hours, Jaishankar is apparently coming with a lot of tasks as India is keen to extend support to Bangladesh in many areas not confining to two major pending issues -- LBA and Teesta deal --between the two countries, said a diplomatic source.
Foreign Secretary M Shahidul Haque will receive his Indian counterpart at the Hazrat International Airport on his arrival.
Then the Indian Foreign Secretary will have talks with his Bangladesh counterpart at the Foreign Ministry around 11:15am before meeting Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali at about 3.0 pm.
Jaishankar, already in the Bhutanese capital of Thimphu on the first leg of is visit to four SAARC countries, will meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at 6.0pm.
Though the Foreign Ministry official did not say anything about what will be discussed, diplomatic sources said issues like power generation and distribution, infrastructure developments like road, housing and port development and investment in prospective areas are likely to come up for discussions during his interaction with the government.
