The Foreign Minister of Bangladesh, Dipu Moni, will visit India on July 25. During her visit, she is expected to meet her Indian counterpart Salman Khurshid, and other senior Indian officials.
The two sides are expected to hold discussions on the Teesta River water sharing agreement, and the India-Bangladesh Land Boundary Agreement (1974).
In September 2011, India and Bangladesh signed the protocol to the Land Boundary Agreement which envisaged that 111 Indian enclaves in Bangladesh and 51 Bangladesh enclaves in India will be exchanged. However, the Indian Parliament is yet to ratify a constitutional amendment to enforce the pact. In the Teesta case, the two sides had arrived at an agreed draft of an interim sharing agreement for fifteen years, in 2011. However, domestic politics in India has delayed the signing of the agreement.
India and Bangladesh share close bilateral, historic and cultural ties. Both countries have established a number of mechanisms, such as the Joint Rivers Commission and the Joint Economic Commissio, to discuss bilateral issues. In 2010-11, bilateral trade between the two economies stood at $5 billion.
