Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus in Bangkok on Friday, their first meeting since the ouster of prime minister Sheikh Hasina in August last year.

The two leaders met on the sidelines of the Summit meeting of the leaders of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral and Technical Cooperation (BIMSTEC) grouping. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval were also present during the meeting.
