<strong>India and Bangladesh will hold the 7th Meeting of the Joint Consultative Commission (JCC) in New Delhi on Sunday. The JCC will be co-chaired by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and A K Abdul Momen, the Foreign Minister of Bangladesh.</strong></p>
<p>
This will be the first physical JCC meeting convened since the onset of Covid-19 pandemic, with the previous edition held virtually in 2020.<br />
<br />
According to the External Affairs ministry, the JCC will review the entire gamut of bilateral relations, including cooperation in the wake of Covid-19, border management and security, trade and investment, connectivity, energy, water resources, development partnership and regional and multilateral issues.<br />
<br />
After the meeting, Momen is also scheduled to call on Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu.</p>
<p>
Meanwhile, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in continuation of her &ldquo;mango diplomacy&rdquo; has sent one metric tonne of Amrapali mangoes to President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a goodwill gesture just ahead of the consultative meeting between the two friendly neighbouring countries.</p>

<p>
A statement released by the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi said: &quot;The mangoes were sent to the residents of His Excellency President and Honourable Prime Minister of India through diplomatic channels today.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
Incidentally, a consignment of mangoes as a gift from Hasina is also being sent to the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. This is likely to reach Kolkata next week.</p>
<p>
The statement also highlighted that the diplomatic relationship between India and Bangladesh had reached new heights and the &quot;Mango &amp; Hilsa diplomacy&quot; was making the ties more gratifying.</p>
<p>
Last year, Hasina had sent mangoes generally grown in Rangpur as a gift to PM Modi and the Chief Ministers of West Bengal, Tripura and Assam.</p>
