Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will hold a press conference at her official Ganabhaban residence at 4:00pm to brief about her recent India visit on Wednesday.
It has been notified through a notice from the press secretary of the prime minister.
Hasina went to India on a two-day trip on May 25 when she along with Indian premier Narendra Modi inaugurated Bangladesh Bhaban at Shantiniketon in West Bengal.
She had separate meetings with Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who vehemently opposed Teesta water sharing deal.
In line with Modi’s promise made to his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina in April last year, the Teesta water treaty is supposed to be signed before Hasina’s current term ends.
West Bengal Chief Minister Banerjee has been opposing the deal since 2011. She even excluded herself from the then-Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh’s Dhaka visit, when the deal was supposed to be signed.
The Trinamool Congress leader made it clear time and again that she will not overlook interests of the northern parts of her state as the Teesta River is integral for irrigation and power generation in that region.
PM Hasina also received Honorary Degree of Doctor of Literature at Kazi Nazrul University, Asansol.
Besides, the premier visited historic ‘Jorasanko Thakur Bari’, the residence of Biswa Kabi Rabindranath Tagore, and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Museum in Kolkata.
