A 100-member Bangladeshi youth delegation will embark on a week-long India tour to enhance people-to-people understanding.
The visit, the second of its kind in one year time, was aimed at making Indians understand about Bangladesh and vice versa, Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka Pankaj Sharan told a pre-visit reception at the Indira Gandhi Cultural Centre here.
He said such visits were necessary to know people living in the neighbouring countries.
"The visit will enable you to have a better understanding of India, your next door neighbour," Sharan told the reception also attended by Bangladeshi cricketer Shakib Al Hasan and actress Joya Ahsan.
During the visit, the youth delegation will travel to different parts of India, including New Delhi and Bangalore.
The delegation is also scheduled to meet President Pranab Mukherjee in New Delhi.
The visit programme was introduced last year.
