The meeting with Khaleda, former prime minister of Bangladesh, will take place after Modi's meeting with the leader of the opposition Raushan Ershad, Indian Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar made the announcement while talking to reporters in New Delhi.
This sets at rest speculation whether Modi will have a meeting with the BNP chief during his Dhaka visit.
The Indian PM will also meet some left leaders.
The meeting between Modi and Khaleda assumes important as it was the BNP chief who had declined to meet Indian President Pranab Mukherjee when the latter had visited Dhaka in March 2013.
Jaishankar said an announcement would be made during Modi's visit about the availability of Bangladeshi TV channels in India officially, a long-pending demand of people in West Bengal.
