A high-level diplomatic delegation of Bangladesh may arrive in India next month for the traditional bi-annual border talks with their New Delhi counterparts, official sources said.
The talks between the two sides, led by the BSF Director General (DG) and the DG of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), will be the first meeting of senior officials of the two neighbours for the exchange and sharing of information after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government last month.
According to sources, India has proposed two sets of dates for these talks, one for later this month and the second for October. The Bangladeshi side has indicated that they may go for the later date and may travel to India for about four-five days, including the days of arrival and exit, they said. This will be the 55th edition of the DG-level talks between the BSF and BGB which also includes officials from the Home Ministry, External Affairs Ministry and others.
