Hasina, Modi talks held at Hyderabad House

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi on Saturday held delegation-level talks at Hyderabad House of the Indian capital city.

Earlier, they had a one-to-one meeting (tete-a-tete).

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, currently in New Delhi on a two-day state visit to India, was accorded a warm ceremonial reception by her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi at the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan.

A red carpet was rolled out for PM Hasina and national anthems of Bangladesh and India were played during the ceremony.

On her arrival at the presidential palace around 9:00am, the Bangladesh prime minister was received by her host Modi.

A horse mounted team of the president's bodyguards escorted her motorcade from the Rashtrapati Bhavan gate to the forecourt.

Hasina was given a guard of honour by a smartly turned out contingent drawn from three services of the Indian Armed Forces.

PM Hasina then inspected the guard and received salute.

This is the first incoming bilateral state visit after the formation of the government in India following the 18th Lok Sabha elections.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was among the international leaders who attended the swearing-in ceremony of the Prime Minister and the Union Council of Ministers on June 9, 2024.
