Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the swearing-in ceremony as BNP is set to form the government with a landslide victory against an alliance led by Jamaat-NCP. About 20 heads of State, including President Macron, will be hosted by India around the same time, another source from Delhi told UNB, indicating that Prime Minister Modi is unlikely to come but will send his representative. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was one of the global leaders who congratulated BNP first. "As two close neighbours with deep-rooted historical and cultural ties, I reaffirmed India’s continued commitment to the peace, progress, and prosperity of both our peoples," said the Indian Prime Minister. Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen will represent China at the swearing-in ceremony.
