Bangladesh Foreign Minister to visit Delhi

Dhaka/New Delhi, Aug.19 (ANI): Bangladesh Foreign Minister Dipu Moni will undertake her maiden official visit to India on September 8 and is expected to discuss several bilateral issues, including border security, water and maritime boundary issues.

Foreign ministry officials, however, said the details of the visit are yet to be finalised.

An inter-ministerial meeting has already finalised the issues of bilateral talks.

The tour is also aimed at creating the ground for Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to India at a convenient time.

Former Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee visited Dhaka in February this year and met Moni. Moni has also interacted with present External Affairs Minister S M Krishna. (ANI)
