Bangladesh to host D-8 council of ministers 20th session 27 July

Bangladesh will host the 20th meeting of the Council of Ministers of the D-8, or Developing-8 on July 27, 

The D-8 members' foreign ministers have previously been invited by the nation.

D-8 is an organization for Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey to work together on development.

The establishment of D-8 was announced officially through the Istanbul Declaration of Summit of Heads of State or Government on 15 June, 1997. It is a global arrangement rather than a regional one, as the composition of its members reflects.

Bangladesh will also host the 45th session of the D-8 Commission from 25 to 26 July.
