Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has arrived in Dhaka to participate in a meeting with his Bangladeshi counterpart, Foreign Secretary Md Jasim Uddin.
Misri landed in the capital Dhaka on Monday (9 December) morning aboard a special flight of the Indian Air Force.
This marks the first high-level meeting between senior officials of Bangladesh and India following the fall of Sheikh Hasina's Awami League-led government.
As part of his maiden visit to Bangladesh in his capacity as Foreign Secretary, Misri is scheduled to engage in a private discussion with Foreign Secretary Md Jasim Uddin before participating in a formal meeting.
Following the secretarial-level discussions, the Indian foreign secretary will attend a luncheon.
Later, he is expected to pay courtesy calls to Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Tauhid Hossain and Chief Advisor Dr Muhammad Yunus, although final schedules for these two meetings are yet to be confirmed.
Vikram Misri is expected to return to Delhi on Monday night.
