India has invited Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman to attend the outreach session of the BRICS summit in New Delhi. The Bangladeshi leader is set to take part in that segment of the meeting in his role as the current chair of BIMSTEC.
The summit is scheduled for September 12 and 13 in the Indian capital. India announced the invitation on Tuesday, placing Bangladesh among the regional participants linked to the wider discussions around the BRICS gathering.
Rahman’s presence at the outreach session gives Bangladesh visibility at an important international meeting while also highlighting BIMSTEC’s role in regional engagement. The development adds a diplomatic dimension to the summit beyond the main BRICS agenda.
According to the available details, the New Delhi meeting is expected to deal with pressing issues. Rahman’s attendance is likely to be watched closely in both India and Bangladesh as the summit brings together regional and global stakeholders in the same forum.
