During this trip, Moeen U Ahmed had meetings with India's then foreign minister, Pranab Mukherjee, the Indian army chief, and other key figures. Various important issues, including Bangladesh's defense and assurances about Moeen U Ahmed's service, were discussed.

According to AFP, "On February 25, 2008, at an event, India's army chief, Deepak Kumar, gifted six horses to Bangladesh's army chief, Moeen U Ahmed. The total value of the horses was slightly over 35 million rupees. These horses were given as a gesture of satisfaction with Bangladesh not supporting anti-Indian separatists along the Bangladesh-India border."

The horses were of the German Hanoverian breed, including two stallions and four mares. A few days before the visit, India's then Lieutenant General Narayan Mohanty told journalists that these horses were gifted following Bangladesh's request.

During the 1/11 political crisis, Lieutenant General (retd.) Aminul Karim was the military secretary to President Iajuddin Ahmed. When asked about Moeen U Ahmed's visit to India, he told Bonik Barta, "When Sheikh Hasina came to power, General Moeen U Ahmed was worried about whether he would retain his job. So, during the trip, he sought India's support for job security. Pranab Mukherjee assured him that they would look into the matter. But the election hadn't occurred then, and I don't know how he mentioned this before the election. Also, Moeen U Ahmed sought their help for our security."

"About a year after the caretaker government took power in 2007-08, we had a vote on whether the military should stay in power. At that time, the army generals requested Moeen U Ahmed to hand over power to the politicians. They also suggested releasing the two leaders in jail (Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina). No general supported the army chief then," Lt Gen (retd.) Aminul Karim further explained the situation at the time.

Moeen U Ahmed's trip to India was initially scheduled for January 2007. Nonetheless, the visit was called off because of a state of emergency in the country. Just over a year later, Moeen U Ahmed traveled to Delhi at a significant moment in the nation's political landscape.

When approached by Bonik Barta about this issue, Brigadier General Fazlul Bari, a military officer who was dismissed during the 1/11 period, chose not to provide any comment.

While in India, Moeen U Ahmed met with Pranab Mukherjee, the nation's ex-foreign minister. At that moment, Moeen U Ahmed shared his worries with Pranab Mukherjee, fearing that he could be removed from his position if Sheikh Hasina took charge. Pranab Mukherjee's book The Coalition Years examines Indian politics from 1996 to 2012.

He wrote, "In February 2008, Moeen U Ahmed traveled to India for a six-day excursion. He met me. During a casual gathering, we talked about releasing political prisoners. However, Moeen U Ahmed was worried that if Sheikh Hasina were freed, he might be removed from his position. I take this as my personal responsibility and guarantee that He wouldn't be fired if Sheikh Hasina gained power."

It is reported that key defense issues were prioritized during Moeen U Ahmed's visit to India. He held meetings with General Deepak Kumar, the Chief of the Indian Army, and Air Marshal Homi, the Chief of the Indian Air Force. The then-army chief of Bangladesh promised that a new era of defense cooperation between the two countries would begin. Moeen U Ahmed also met with the former Vice Chief of the Indian Navy during his visit.

According to a report by the Press Trust of India (PTI), Moeen U Ahmed also met with India's Defense Minister, M M Pallam Raju.

On January 11, 2007, a military-backed caretaker government led by Fakhruddin Ahmed took power. About a year later, New Delhi invited Moeen U Ahmed to visit. His only companion during this trip was Major General Syed Fatemi Ahmed Rumi, the then Director General of the Special Security Force (SSF). After Moeen U Ahmed's visit, many of Bangladesh's policy decisions came from India, which analysts believe continued until 2024.
