Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Thursday said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will visit UAE to attend the Dubai Air Show from November 16 to 19.

"Two bilateral cooperation documents and a protocol will be signed during the visit," the Foreign Minister said while briefing reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Prime Minister's upcoming visit.

Dr Momen also said Prime Minister will visit Kolkata on November 22 to watch the Bangladesh-India Test match.

"Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent an invitation letter to his Bangladesh counterpart in this regard. However, Prime Minister Modi will not join Sheikh Hasina at Kolkata due to his pre-engagement," the Foreign Minister said.
