Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to arrive in Thailand on Wednesday for a six-day standard attend at the offer of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.

Mr Hasina may stay in Thailand until Monday, according to Government House.

During the visit, Mr Srettha and Ms Hasina are scheduled to see the filing of several standard agreements and notes of knowledge.

Mr Srettha may even host a dinner in honour of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh and her group at Government House, according to established options.

The browse, which is the first official visit to Thailand by a Bangladeshi prime chancellor since 2002, is an option for both sides to discuss ways to strengthen diplomatic relations and increase participation in various areas, especially in light of the commencement of free trade agreement negotiations between the two countries.

Thailand and Bangladesh will also discover ways to develop cooperation in development assistance, communication, tourism, and people-to-people ties.

In addition, the prime minister of Bangladesh will also attend the 80th session of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific ( Unescap ) and have a bilateral meeting with Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana, Executive Secretary of Unescap, during her six-day visit, according to the sources.

Ms Hasina came to Thailand in 2013 to attend the three-day 2nd Asia-Pacific Water Summit, which was held in Chiang Mai between May 19-20 that year.
