US Congressman Sander Levin will come to Dhaka on August 19 on a four-day visit to see the labour condi-tion.
“He will have meetings with people from public and private sector,”
Director General of foreign ministry Mahfuzur Rahman told the Dhaka Tribune.
He is the second congressman who is visiting Dhaka after the collapse of Rana Plaza in April.
US Congressman George Miller came to Dhaka in June to learn about the labour conditions in the country after the Rana Plaza collapse, which killed over 1,100 people.
Levin – the ranking Democrat of the US House Ways and Means committee, is scheduled to meet leaders of BGMEA, BKMEA, different labour
associations and visit several factories, said another official of the foreign ministry.
“He will also meet Foreign Minister Dipu Moni and discuss labour conditions,” he said.
A reputed labour leader, Levin, served as chairman of Ways and Means committee in 2010 when Demo-crats held the majority in the US House.
