Update : 01 Jul 2025, 08:12 PM

The National Consensus Commission will resume its second round of talks on Wednesday with political parties, aiming to build an agreement on major state reform initiatives proposed by the interim government.

Discussions on the seventh day of the second round dialogue will begin at 11am at Foreign Service Academy in the capital.

Several important reform agendas, including the formation of a separate independent commission for delimitation of constituencies, the structure of the caretaker government and presidential clemency, are scheduled to be discussed.

Earlier on Sunday, the commission concluded the sixth day's discussion with no significant headway on the formation of an appointment committee for constitutional and statutory bodies and the proportional representation (PR) system of the upper house.

Some 30 political parties are taking part in the second-round talks to present their respective positions on the proposed reforms.

The talks will be live broadcast on BTV News.

On June 2, the commission chairman, Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus, inaugurated the second round of dialogues.

Formed on February 15, the commission is tasked with forging a unified national stance on crucial state reforms.

The commission launched its first round of talks on March 20, engaging with 33 political parties and alliances, including the BNP, Jamaat and NCP, before concluding the round on May 19.

Following the talks, the National Consensus Commission is expected to finalise and announce a national charter, a reform roadmap, this month.
