DHAKA: Heads of governments of the SAARC members’ countries have been invited to join swearing-in ceremony of newly Indian Prime Minister-elect Narendra Modi to be held on May 26.
But Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina would not be able to join the program as she will be visiting Japan from May 25 on a 4-day official tour.
Prime Minister Office sources said her Japan tour is pre-scheduled one. So, the premier is preparing for the Japan visit.
The government high official, who will represent the Bangladesh premier in the swearing-in ceremony, is yet to be finalized.
