BNP to work for more UK-Bangla ties

Says Khaleda

UNB, Dhaka
BNP, like in the past, would work to deepen the relations between Bangladesh and the United Kingdom (UK), said BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia last night.
She was speaking to British Conservative Party Chairman Baroness Sayeeda Warsi who called on her at Ruposhi Bangla Hotel around 10:00pm with some members of the party.
After the meeting, BNP Vice Chairman Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury told reporters that the meeting is the continuation of Khaleda's meet with the Conservative Party chief in London in May this year.
Baroness Warsi expressed her belief that the relation between Bangladesh and the UK is durable and would be longstanding.
During the meeting, issues concerning democracy, human rights and rule of law were discussed.
Baroness Warsi, also a minister without portfolio, invited Khaleda to again come on a visit to the UK. Khaleda accepted the invitation.
A 49-member Conservative Party delegation led by Warsi arrived here on September 17 on a seven day visit.
Meanwhile, our staff correspondent from Sylhet reports: Baroness Warsi addressed a function at Haji Shafique High
School in Sylhet city in the afternoon marking some development works at the school.
Speaking about the relation between the UK and Bangladesh, she said the ties would be strengthened further as the countries continue working on common issues.
Conservative Party, under a project titled “Maya”, renovated the school and donated some benches, sports materials and a computer lab with 10 computers to the school.
They were assisted by Islamic Relief, Bangladesh, a branch of Islamic Relief, UK, an international aid organisation.
British lawmakers Nicky Morgan, Andrew Stephenson, Anne Main and Tobas Ellwood, Islamic Relief, Bangladesh acting country representative Zabed Amer and the school's Managing Committee Chairman Md Shahjahan were also present.
The £ 40,000 project aims at improving health, education, sports and other sectors in Sylhet.
An official of the project said a large number the Conservative Party supporters living in the UK are from Sylhet which is why the project was launched here.
On successful implementation, it would be extended to other parts of Bangladesh, he added.
