Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina arrives in New Delhi on 4-day visit, expected to sign trade, investment accords
21
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina arrived in India on Thursday for a four-day long visit during which she is expected to sign agreements on increasing trade and investment and improving regional connectivity.
Hasina is expected to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday and is also scheduled to address a World Economic forum meeting.
During her visit, Hasina is also expected to seek support for her country's plan to push Myanmar to take back Rohingya Muslims who fled violence and repression there in what has become one of Asia's largest refugee crises in decades. Most of the Rohingya took refuge in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is looking for cooperation from India, China and Japan to speed up the process.
An estimated 40,000 Rohingya also have taken refuge in parts of India.

Bangladesh will get full support from India. Under Modi, Hasina we have been able to resolve long pending boundary issue.
India , Pakistan come on. Follow Give / Take policy, compromise and resolve Kashmir issue.
You can do it.

She's a tough leader but under her governance, Bangladesh is rising rapidly in all economic & social indicators. Obviously this irritates those who are opposed to progress & moderation.

@venu - How many issues has the "great" leader resolved so far? In every aspect the country is worse off than what it was a year ago when he assumed office.

@DesiDesi,
Not true. Please stop promoting fake facts. Pakistan’s economy is still the second largest. Pakistan is significantly larger than BD.
