Indian President Ram Nath Kovind is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka Wednesday (December 15) on a three-day state visit from December 15 to 17, on the occasion of the 50th Victory Day.
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen came up with the disclosure while addressing a virtual press conference on Tuesday (December 14).
President Abdul Hamid will receive his (Ram Nath Kovind) counterpart at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport and he will be given guard of honor at the airport.
Earlier, India's Ministry of External Affairs said the visit of Kovind “on this historic occasion is a reflection of the high priority that both countries attach to the bilateral relationship”.
This would be Kovind's first visit to Bangladesh since assuming the top constitutional post in 2017.
During the visit, the Indian President will hold a delegation-level meeting with his Bangladeshi counterpart Abdul Hamid, reports our New Delhi correspondent.
