New Delhi (NVI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina will hold a bilateral virtual summit on Thursday, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced today.

During the Summit, the two leaders will hold comprehensive discussions on the entire spectrum of the bilateral relationship, including further strengthening cooperation in the post COVID era, the MEA said in a statement.

India and Bangladesh have continued to maintain regular exchanges at the highest level, the Ministry said.

Sheikh Hasina had paid an official visit to India in October 2019. PM Modi had also delivered a video message on the historic occasion of Mujib Borsho in March 2020. Both leaders have remained in regular touch during the COVID pandemic, the MEA said.
