Narendra Modi meets former Bangladesh PM Khaleda Zia
He also met Left leaders of the country.
"PM meets Leaders of Left Parties of #Bangladesh," PIB India tweeted.
"PM meets HE Begum Khaleda Zia, Former PM of Bangladesh," read another tweet posted by PIB India.
Apart from political leaders, Modi also met Presidents of leading Chambers of Commerce and Industry in Bangladesh.
PM Narendra Modi on Sunday recalled the immortal words of former Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who, in a speech in Parliament on 6th December 1971, had said that the friendship between India and Bangladesh was like a bond which would not break under any pressure, and would never be the victim of any diplomacy.
He said this message of Vajpayee had to be passed on to succeeding generations.
In his acceptance speech, after the conferment of the Bangladesh liberation war honour on former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Narendra Modi described Vajpayee as a far-sighted leader, who had said that history was being rewritten, as the blood of Indian soldiers flowed together with the Mukti Jodhas, for the liberation of Bangladesh.
PM Modi said that it would have been wonderful if Vajpayee had been present to receive this honour himself.
