This is the first bilateral state visit by a foreign leader after the formation of the new government. This is Sheikh Hasina's second visit to India within 15 days. Earlier, Hasina had attended the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Modi on 9 June.
Prime Minister Modi has always given special importance to relations with Bangladesh under the Neighbour First policy. During the G-20 summit last year, Prime Minister Modi had invited Bangladesh as a guest. The special thing is that Bangladesh was the only South Asian country among the 9 countries invited as guests in the G-20 summit.
Bangladesh is also very important for India strategically. After the India visit, Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to visit China. In view of this, the meaning of her India visit is being interpreted. Bangladesh is also a big trade partner of India in South Asia.
