fakhrul to lead bnp delegation to china from sunday
a nine-member high level delegation of the bnp, led by secretary general mirza fakhrul islam alamgir, goes to china next sunday at the invitation of the communist party of china (cpc).
“the cpc has given a formal invitation for the visit, which is expected to focus on strengthening bilateral relations and sharing party-level experiences,” said bnp media cell member sayrul kabir khan.
sayrul disclosed that accompanying mirza fakhrul will be four standing committee members: mirza abbas, ***eshwar chandra roy, begum selima rahman, and dr azm zahid hossain. they will be joined by three chairperson's advisers, namely zahir uddin swapan, ismail zabiullah, and professor sukomal barua, and the party's media cell convener, dr moudud hossain alamgir pavel.
the delegation visited the chinese embassy in dhaka on thursday evening at the invitation of china’s acting ambassador to dhaka ahead of the trip.
party insiders said the visit underscores bnp’s intention to deepen relations with china, which remains a key development partner for bangladesh.
they believe the visit may play a crucial role in bolstering diplomatic engagement with beijing, especially in the context of a possible future political transition in bangladesh. the bnp is increasingly viewed by stakeholders as a 'government in waiting', given the present political context of bangladesh. that wait is expected to last till the next election.
