PM Modi Invites Bangladesh PM Tarique Rahman to India, Om Birla Hands Over Letter in Dhaka

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla attended the swearing-in ceremony of Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman in Dhaka as India’s official representative. During the event, Birla conveyed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s congratulations and extended a personal invitation for Rahman to visit India. Rahman returned to Dhaka after 17 years in exile in London and assumed office following his BNP party’s decisive two-thirds majority win in the February 12 elections.

The invitation underscores the importance of continued cooperation in diplomacy, trade, regional stability, and cultural exchange between the two neighboring countries.
