Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is expected to brief the top bureaucrats today after the regular cabinet meeting.
It would be her first official meeting with the secretaries after the Awami League government assumed office for the second time.
Cabinet division officials said the regular cabinet meeting would end by 11:30am because that was the time schedule for the post-meeting briefing.
The meeting with the secretaries might begin immediately after the cabinet meeting. The secretaries were asked to be present at the cabinet division by that time, they said.
Earlier, Cabinet Secretary M Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan told media that the prime minister would brief them about the government’s policies and give key directives to the top bureaucrats.
Although the administration had been working well, the first meeting with the secretaries was meant to speed up the activities, he added.
He also said: “The cabinet secretary usually holds the monthly meeting with secretaries. The premier, however, holds meeting with the secretaries once a year. She generally briefs the top bureaucrats on the policies and planning of the government.”
