Addressing a press briefing, MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that repatriation of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants would require cooperation from Dhaka.
Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman arrived in New Delhi on Tuesday evening on a three-day official visit aimed at reinforcing bilateral ties between the two nations.
Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman's visit to India on Tuesday comes at a moment when both India and Bangladesh appear eager to steady a relationship that has, in recent years, oscillated between pragmatic cooperation and marked strain.
The induction of Khalilur Rahman, who was earlier National Security Advisor to the then head of the interim government, Muhammad Yunus, as Foreign Affairs Minister in Tarique Rahman's new cabinet, is being read in Dhaka's diplomatic circles as a "careful recalibration" of Bangladesh's foreign policy.
During the meeting, Doval was also invited to visit Bangladesh at his convenience.
