Bangladesh: UK minister Warsi due today


Amid the ongoing dialogue between two major political parties ahead of the crucial national election, British senior foreign and commonwealth office minister Baroness Warsi will arrives in Dhaka today to discuss polls issues with political leaders.
Warsi is likely to meet prime minister Sheikh Hasina and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia during her short stay in Bangladesh.
She will also meet the press on Thursday afternoon before wrapping up her visit, officials said.
The British minister had been in Dhaka in February last and had talks with prime minister Sheikh Hasina, leader of the opposition Khaleda Zia and former foreign minister Dipu Moni on the election issue.
During her stay, Warsi had said most things could be solved through a democratic process and mentioned that there is a need for all political parties to be part of the election process because it is important. (source
