‘He had received two invitations’: India rejects confusion over B'desh PM’s Brics invite

India extended two distinct invitations to Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman for separate engagements. He received an invitation for a bilateral visit and another for the Brics Summit. The Brics invitation was specifically extended to him as the current chair of Bimstec. Bangladeshi officials clarified that the summit invitation was for the Bimstec chair, not the prime minister. India's bilateral invitation to Rahman remains open for a future conducive timing.
