The meetings are scheduled to take place at the Foreign Service Academy at 4:30pm, Abul Kalam Azad Majumder, deputy press secretary to the chief adviser, announced at a press conference held on Sunday.
He mentioned that there may be additional meetings before and after Eid-ul-Azha.
Azad Majumder said: "All political parties involved in the reform process have been invited. I hope that through this dialogue, we can reach the final stage of announcing the July Charter."
He added that the chief adviser will initiate the dialogue during Monday's meeting and that discussions will continue thereafter.
Azad Majumder also noted that dialogues with political parties will be held continuously. Besides Monday's meeting, two more sessions are expected to take place before and after Eid.
The first round of discussions between political parties and the National Consensus Commission concluded on May 19.
The press conference was also attended by the Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam and Senior Assistant Press Secretary Faiz Ahmed.
During the briefing, the Chief Adviser’s press wing said that the recent visit to Japan is expected to boost foreign investment in Bangladesh and create new opportunities for sending expatriate workers.
CA’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said Japan is set to make a major investment in the Matarbari project. Additionally, there have been positive discussions about Japanese businesses investing in Bangladesh.
He mentioned that Japan will support the Matarbari master plan and contribute a significant portion of the $29 million required for the project.
He further said that one of the key objectives of the visit was to attract more interest from Japanese investors—an effort that proved quite successful. Discussions were held with Japan’s main investment agency, JETRO, which responded positively to the idea of investing in Bangladesh.
Highlighting the strong potential for manpower exports to Japan, Shafiqul Alam said Japan has expressed interest in recruiting 100,000 workers over the next five years. Work is underway to facilitate this plan.
He also mentioned that discussions were held to resolve longstanding visa complications related to travel to Japan.
