Hasina returns home after 2-day state visit to India

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina returned home on Saturday after wrapping up her two-day state visit to India, UNB reports.

A flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines carrying the prime minister and her entourage members landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 8:25 pm.

Earlier, the flight departed Palam Airport in New Delhi at 6:20 pm (Bangladesh Time).

She went to New Delhi on Friday at the invitation of her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.

Indian Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change and also Minister of State for External Affairs Shri Kirtivardhan Singh and Bangladesh High Commissioner to India Md Mustafizur Rahman saw the prime minister off at the airport.

This was the first bilateral visit by any head of government to India after the BJP-led alliance formed its government for the third consecutive time following the Lok Sabha elections.

Besides, this visit was Sheikh Hasina’s second trip to the Indian capital in less than 15 days, as she was among the dignitaries invited to Modi's swearing-in ceremony on June 9.
