A visiting election exploratory mission from the European Union (EU) is holding a meeting with the ruling Awami League.
The meeting started at Sheraton Dhaka in Banani at noon on Saturday.
A nine-member Awami League delegation led by General Secretary Obaidul Quader participated in the meeting.
The visiting EU delegation also held a meeting with a BNP delegation at the party chairperson's office in Gulshan earlier on Saturday morning.
Based on information received from the fact-finding mission, the European Union will take a final decision on sending a full-fledged election observation mission (EOM) before the next national election of Bangladesh.
The main objective of the election exploratory mission is to assess the “advisability, usefulness and feasibility” of a possible EU election observation mission for the upcoming parliamentary election, according to the EU Mission in Dhaka.
