New Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has invited his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina to visit India. Modi conveyed the invitation through Bangladesh’s Parliament Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury during a meeting with her at Hyderabad House in New Delhi on Tuesday noon. Chaudhury handed over a letter from Hasina, who is now on a visit to Japan, to the Indian prime minister, which promises to 'work together to take bilateral relations to a new high'. The letter invites Modi to visit Dhaka at the earliest possible. The speaker said the Indian prime minister expressed his willingness to make a trip to Bangladesh ‘as early as possible’, according to a news agency.
