Narendra Modi to visit Bangladesh on Mar 26 for two days to attend Mujib Borsho events
New Delhi: Indian PM Narendra Modi will visit Bangladesh on Mar 26, the first nation he will be visiting since the outbreak of the Covid pandemic.
India Ministry of External Affairs said the PM's decision to visit the neighbouring nation showcases the priority India attaches to Bangladesh.
He will visit Bangladesh on Mar 26 and 27.
This visit is in connection with the commemoration of three epochal events - Mujib Borsho, the birth centenary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman; 50 years of the establishment of diplomatic ties between India and Bangladesh; and 50 years of Bangladesh’s war of liberation. Prime Minister had last visited Bangladesh in 2015, read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.
During the visit, Prime Minister will attend the National Day programme of Bangladesh on March 26, as the guest of honour.
Meanwhile, Narendra Modi has paid homage to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, on his birth anniversary.
My heartfelt homage to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a champion of human rights and freedom, on his birth anniversary. He is a hero for all Indians too. It will be my honour to visit Bangladesh later this month for the historic #MujibBorsho celebrations.

মানবাধিকার ও স্বাধীনতার রক্ষক বঙ্গবন্ধু শেখ মুজিবুর রহমানের জন্মবার্ষিকীতে তাঁর প্রতি আমার আন্তরিক শ্রদ্ধা। সকল ভারতীয় নাগরিকের কাছেও তিনি একজন বীর হিসেবে গণ্য হন। এই মাসের শেষের দিকে ঐতিহাসিক মুজিববর্ষ উদযাপন উপলক্ষে বাংলাদেশ সফর করতে পারা আমার জন্য সম্মানের বিষয়।
