Politics: PM Modi Invited to Bangladesh’s New Government Oath Ceremony

In a major political development, Tarique Rahman has invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Bangladesh’s new government.

The swearing-in ceremony is reportedly scheduled for 17 February at the Bangabhaban, where President Mohammad Shahabuddin will administer the oath.

Speaking to the media, Rahman emphasized that Bangladesh’s foreign policy will prioritize the interests of the country and its people. He also addressed the issue of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, stating that her possible return would depend on legal procedures. The composition of the new cabinet, however, remains undisclosed.
