Manmohan Singh to visit Dhaka Sept 6-7

New Delhi, July 4 (bdnews24.com)—Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh will visit Bangladesh from Sept 6-7, its external affairs ministry has confirmed.

He will come to Dhaka one and a half years after prime minister Sheikh Hasina visited New Delhi in January 2010.

The much-expected tour will take place after Manmohan's off-the-record remarks on a possible shift in Bangladesh's political landscape that have touched off debates and may embarrassed diplomats in both countries.

Dhaka is set to play host to a number of dignitaries from Delhi.

President of India's ruling Congress party, Sonia Gandhi, is scheduled to be in Dhaka on July 25 next to attend a special conference on disabled and autistic children.

Gandhi, who also chairs the ruling United Progressive Alliance, accepted an invitation from Hasina to attend the conference.

India's external affairs minister S M Krishna is due to reach Dhaka on July 6 next for a visit.

Water resources minister Salman Khurshid may also visit Dhaka soon for a meeting with his counterpart Ramesh Chandra Sen. Sen and Khurshid are expected to give final touches to an interim agreement on sharing of water of Teesta.

There is no doubt about that.
