Pranab due on Aug 7
Indian High Commission in Dhaka yesterday formally announced that Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee would visit Bangladesh on August 7. He will be visiting at the invitation of Foreign Minister of Bangladesh Dr Dipu Moni. During his brief visit, Pranab Mukherjee would meet his counterpart AMA Muhith, Foreign Minister Dipu Moni and call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. At that time he will discuss entire range of bilateral issues, especially post-January visit to India by the prime minister of Bangladesh. The Indian finance minister will witness the signing of the $ 1 billion Line of Credit agreement to be signed by CMD, EXIM Bank of India and secretary of the Economic Relations Department (ERD) of Bangladesh. The prime minister of India announced the $1 billion line of credit during the path-breaking visit of Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina to India in January 2010. It is meant for a range of projects, including railway infrastructure, supply of BG locomotives and passenger coaches, procurement of buses and dredging projects. Signing of the agreement would pave the way for implementation of mutually identified infrastructure development projects in Bangladesh.
