Cameron to arrive Dhaka Wednesday

Former British Prime Minister David Cameron will arrive here tomorrow on a very brief visit.

 

During his less than 24-hour maiden visit, the former Prime Minister of Britain is scheduled to pay call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday morning.

 

He will also join a roundtable discussion of International Growth Centre (IGC), a UK-based organisation working in promoting sustainable growth in developing countries by providing demand-led policy advice based on frontier research.

 

Cameron, who was Prime Minister of Britain from 2010-2016, will also pay a visit to a DFID-funded project and a garment factory here.

 

He is currently holding the post of Chairman of Fragility Commission that introduced the International Growth Centre (IGC).

 

When contacted, a senior officer of the ministry of foreign affairs told media today that it will be Cameron's personal visit to Bangladesh.

 

During his visit, the former British Premier will visit a number of DFID- funded projects and call of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, he added.
