Sushma due today

Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj arrives in the city today (Wednesday) on a three-day 'goodwill visit', during which important bilateral issues will be discussed, reports UNB.
The visit takes place at the invitation of Sushma's Bangladesh counterpart AH Mahmood Ali, who thinks a new horizon in Bangladesh-India relations will usher in with her visit.
The Indian side hopes that the visit will provide further momentum to the close and friendly relations between India and Bangladesh.
This is going to be Sushma's first stand-alone visit abroad as the external affairs minister.
During the visit, Sushma will hold discussions on a wide range of bilateral issues with the Bangladesh foreign minister Thursday.
She will meet President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during the visit.
The Indian external affairs minister will also have engagement with think-tanks, chambers of commerce and industry, and cultural organisations.
She will also deliver a lecture on Bangladesh-India relations at an event, to be organised by the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) Thursday.
Before the lecture, she will attend a media briefing at a city hotel on the same day.
An official said the Indian minister will arrive in the city tonight and leave for New Delhi on Friday morning.
Meanwhile, Sushma Swaraj has asked the Indian envoys, based in seven South Asian countries, China, Central Asian Republics, Iran and Myanmar to follow up on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's initiatives to expand engagement with Delhi's neighbours through a concrete action plan.
