New Delhi, February 15: India will be officially represented by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla at the upcoming swearing-in ceremony of Bangladesh’s Prime Minister-elect, Tarique Rahman. Sources confirmed on Sunday that Birla will be accompanied by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri to the event in Dhaka, scheduled for February 17. The high-level delegation follows a formal invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will remain in India for a bilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. The appointment of the Speaker and Foreign Secretary underscores New Delhi's intent to maintain stable diplomatic engagement with the incoming BNP-led government. The ceremony marks the return of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) to power following their recent victory. The presence of India’s top legislative and diplomatic officials is seen as a crucial step toward resetting bilateral relations and addressing regional cooperation under the new leadership in Dhaka.
