The Bangladesh foreign ministry earlier said Mr Abe would arrive in Dhaka on September 6 on a 24-hour visit. It said executives from about 40 companies with diverse product range from such as trading and construction, will accompany Mr Abe on the September 6-8 trip. Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga announced the itinerary on Monday after the Bangladesh's foreign ministry had already done it. Bangladesh's foreign ministry said his visit is an indication of Tokyo's "very keen" interest in expanding and deepening "comprehensive partnership" in all spheres. Mr Abe will also address the Bangladesh-Japan Economic Forum, formed after Sheikh Hasina's Japan visit in May.
