India and Banladesh relations got a major boost with Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s visit. This is the first bilateral visit by Sheikh Hasina after National Democratic Alliance formed the government. The visit is important since it is her last visit before the parliamentary election in Bangladesh likely to be held in late 2018. The outcome of this visit will play a major role in shaping future of the politics in that country and also of the bilateral relationship. The visit showcases her commitment to friendship with India and progress of the bilateral relationship.
