It added "During her visit, the state counsellor will call on President Pranab Mukherjee and have meetings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj."
According to the ministry, Suu Kyi's visit will provide an opportunity for the two sides to discuss issues of mutual interest and seek ways to further strengthen the close and friendly ties.
