PM departs for Thailand

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina left Dhaka this morning for Bangkok on a six-day official visit to Thailand at the invitation of her Thai counterpart Srettha Thavisin to strengthen the bilateral relations between the two countries.

A flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, carrying the premier and her entourage, departed Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 10:13 am.

The aircraft is scheduled to land at Don Mueang International Airport, Bangkok at 1:30pm local time.

"It's both a bilateral and multilateral visit," said Foreign Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud at a media briefing on Monday, marking the visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to Thailand on April 24-29.

He said the visit is significant for both the sides as it will open a new window of cooperation between the two friendly countries, Bangladesh and Thailand._(Inputs taken from BSS).
