Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is likely to visit India in September to join the G20 summit and a delegation of ruling Awami League is also to visit India in next July to meet its ruling BJP leaders.

Road Transport and Bridges Minister ObaidulQuader on Wednesday saidthat before the PM's visit to India on the occasion of the G20 summit, a delegation of Awami League will visit India in July on the invitation of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

He made the disclosure while addressing a programme held at SarakBhaban in the capital's Tejgaon on Wednesday.

Expressing optimism that this visit by the party will enhance the "bonds" between the people of both nations, he emphasised the importance of party-to-party contact to foster stronger people-to-people connections and bridge gaps.

Highlighting the successful resolution of numerous outstanding issues between the two countries, ObaidulQuader said, "Friendly bilateral relations have the potential to address any challenges through dialogue. We have effectively resolved the border issue, and terrorism, which previously exploited Bangladesh's territory in the border regions of India, has come to a halt."

The Awami League General Secretary said the mutual relations between Bangladesh and India are very important for the sake of development. If neighboring India invests more in Bangladesh, it will not have to go far to find investors. 

Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka Pranay Kumar Verma was present at the function with Chief Engineer Roads and Highways Department MdIshaque in the chair.

According to sources, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will visit India in September at the invitation of Indian premier Narendra Modi. 

Indian Prime Minister has invited Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to attend the upcoming G20 Summit, the eighteenth meeting of the Group of Twenty, to be held in New Delhi, India. 

Bangladesh is among the nine guest countries to be invited by India as the president of the G20.
