"I am eagerly waiting to visit Bangladesh soon," a spokesman of Hasina's office quoted the letter as saying as Jaishankar called on the Bangladeshi premier and handed it over to her.
Hasina's press secretary AKM Shameem Chowdhury said the premier, in response, asked Jaishankar about the possible time of Modi's visit, saying: "We are eagerly waiting to welcome him in Bangladesh as well."
Chowdhury said Jaishankar also told Hasina that India expects to sign two agreements soon with Bangladesh for further boosting bilateral trade and commerce between the two neigbouring countries.
Jaishankar is on his second leg of his 'SAARC Yatra' to firm up India's ties with members of the eight-nation grouping. He arrived here today after holding talks with Bhutan's top leadership and will travel to Pakistan tomorrow and then to Afghanistan on Wednesday.
