The announcement was made on Wednesday during a briefing at the Foreign Service Academy.
The politicians named in the delegation are: BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir; Humayun Kabir, foreign affairs adviser to BNP’s acting Chairman Tarique Rahman and BNP secretary for international affairs; Dr Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher, nayeb-e-ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami; and Akhtar Hossain, member secretary of the National Citizen Party (NCP).
