We hope the visit will take the ties between the two countries to new level," Sripriya Ranganathan, Joint Secretary in the Bangladesh-Myanmar division of the external affairs ministry, said.Indian officials also added that the central government will not go ahead with the agreement on Teesta without taking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on board and she has been opposing it stridently citing water crisis in the state.This will be Ms Hasina's first visit after PM Modi assumed office in 2014.
