Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has begun a visit to Bangladesh during which he is expected to sign major border security and trade deals.
It is the first visit by an Indian prime minister in 12 years and is being seen as a landmark in relations.
Correspondents say the two-day trip is partly aimed at countering growing Chinese influence in the region.
