Dhaka: Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj today presented a cream colour saree to Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who in return gifted the famous Bangladeshi Jamdani saree to the visiting Indian leader.
Swaraj, who is on her first standalone overseas visit after taking office a month ago, today called on Hasina, who received her at the reception of her office, departing from the normal protocol.
Hasina hugged Swaraj and while gifting the saree she said that this was bought by her sister.
