Modi meets Mamata before meeting Hasina
Saturday, 6 June 2015
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting with West Bengal (Paschimbanga) Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at Hotel Sonargaon in Dhaka on Saturday. The meeting started around 3.15pm at the hotel and ended at 3.34pm, and then they set out for the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) to meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. As journalists approached while they were emerging from the meeting, both Modi and Mamata made a turnaround and just said ‘hello’ but did not make any comment.
Earlier in the morning, Modi arrived here on a two-day visit to the neighbouring country. Mamata Banerjee arrived here earlier on Friday night mainly to witness the exchange of documents on Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) ratification between Bangladesh and India. Speculations were there that Teesta Water sharing agreement was on the agenda of the meeting, according to UNB.
