The meeting took place at the ITC Maurya Hotel, where Hasina is staying during her official visit to New Delhi.
The delegation from the Indian Congress Party included Sonia Gandhi, a Member of the Rajya Sabha and Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, her son Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, and her daughter Priyanka Gandhi, General Secretary of the Indian National Congress Party.
The discussions between Prime Minister Hasina and the Gandhi family are seen as a reinforcement of the historical ties and political camaraderie between Bangladesh and India.
