Bangladesh has invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit Bangladesh on March 26 in person to join the Independence Day celebration. 

"We've invited him (Narendra Modi) and they accepted the invitation in principle," Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen told reporters after his meeting with Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Vikram Doraiswami on Sunday.

There will be a virtual meeting between Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi either on December 16 or 17.
 
"Our victory is India's victory. We should celebrate together," said the foreign minister. 

Dr Momen said they had a very good meeting and the Indian High Commissioner understands the sensitivity of Bangladesh and knows the issues of Bangladesh. 

This was the first meeting between Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen and the newly appointed Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Vikram Doraiswami.
