Sheikh Hasina will be on a four-day visit to India starting September 5 with a focus on strengthening the "multifaceted" bilateral ties.
Bangladesh's objections to set up an Integrated Check Post (ICP) and other issues concering Tripura are likely to be discussed when the neighbouring country's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will meet her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi next week in Delhi, an official said.
Sheikh Hasina will be on a four-day visit to India starting September 5 with a focus on strengthening the "multifaceted" bilateral ties. Her meeting with PM Modi is scheduled for the next day.
"Due to objections from the Bangladesh side, construction of ICP in South Tripura's Muhurighat could not be made. The prime minister (Modi) has agreed to take up the issue with his Bangladesh counterpart during her visit," Special Secretary of Industries and Commerce, Abhishek Chandra, told a press conference here.
An Integrated Check Post is an entry and exit point on the international border, which has facilities such as immigration and customs.
