"Prime Minister Modi has extended an invitation to Bangladesh Prime Minister Hasina to visit India and the invitation has been accepted,” he said.
“Details of the visit, including the dates and programme elements, are still being worked out by the ministry with the Bangladeshi High Commission in New Delhi as well as the Bangladeshi authorities in Dhaka,” he added.
