Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina left here on Saturday afternoon wrapping up her two-day state visit to India.
She arrived here on Friday at the invitation of her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
A flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines carrying the prime minister and her entourage members took off from Palam Airport in New Delhi at 6:20 pm (Bangladesh time).
The flight is scheduled to land at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 09:00 pm.
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.
On the second day of the visit, Dhaka and New Delhi signed 10 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), seven of these new and three renewed to further consolidate the ever-growing relationship between the two neighbouring countries.
