According to a report by India Today cited in the source, preparations are underway to invite regional heads of state, and Modi is expected to be among the invitees. The report notes that if the invitation is formally sent and accepted, Modi’s presence in Dhaka would mark a significant milestone in India-Bangladesh relations under the new political leadership.
