UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk is scheduled to pay a three-day official visit to Bangladesh in the last week of October.
"We are working on this," a senior official said.
The UN Human Rights chief is expected to meet Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus and other stakeholders to have broad discussions on rights issues, including the establishment of an office in Dhaka.
Earlier, he received an official invitation from the Chief Adviser to conduct an impartial and independent fact-finding mission into human rights violations committed from July 1 to August 15.
The office deployed a fact-finding team to Bangladesh, with a view to reporting on violations and abuses perpetrated during the protests, analysing root causes and making recommendations to advance justice and accountability and for longer-term reforms.
Bangladesh is witnessing a number of visits from the United Nations for two reasons-new interim government in place and Bangladesh's 50 years of UN membership.
Volker Türk made a phone call to Bangladesh interim government Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus in August.
During his recent visit to New York, Prof Yunus sought support from foreign friends for Bangladesh's new journey towards a happy and prosperous future, stressing that they do not want to miss the opportunity to build a new Bangladesh.
