National Security Adviser Ajit Doval hosted Bangladesh foreign minister Khalilur Rahman for talks over dinner, marking a new chapter in bilateral relations.
Rahman's visit is seen as part of the Tarique Rahman government's efforts to forge a new relationship with India based on mutual trust and shared interests.
The two sides are expected to discuss key topics such as easing visa restrictions, restoring access to Indian ports, and renewing the Ganga Waters Treaty.
India has insisted on taking action against smugglers and criminal elements from across the border, while Bangladeshi officials have called for their apprehension and prosecution.
The visit comes after years of strained relations, and both sides are looking to strengthen ties and create a new space for people-to-people engagement.
