Dhaka //

Bangladesh has made a diplomatic request for a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the BIMSTEC summit. However, even after four days, no official response has been received from Delhi, said Foreign Affairs Advisor Md. Towhid Hossain.

He said this in response to a question from journalists at the Foreign Ministry on Sunday (March 23) afternoon.

Towhid Hossain said that Chief Advisor Dr. Mohammad Yunus wants to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the BIMSTEC summit to be held in Bangkok in the first week of next month.

Meanwhile, Indian media is giving negative message about the meeting. However, Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar gave a different message at a meeting of a parliamentary panel in New Delhi. He said that Bangladesh’s request to organize a meeting between Dr. Yunus and Indian Prime Minister Modi is being considered.

When asked if Foreign Affairs Advisor Towhid Hossain had received any response from Delhi, he said, “No response has come yet.”
