State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md. Shahriar Alam is scheduled to visit Pakistan to join special session of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The meeting has been called over the Afghanistan situation, according to the information received.
According to foreign ministry sources, the two-day special session will begin on December 18 in Pakistan over the Afghanistan situation initiated by OIC. State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md. Shahriar Alam and Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen will take part in the session. OIC foreign ministers are scheduled to join the session.
The foreign ministry sources also informed that apart from the OIC program no bilateral meeting will take place during the visit.
It will be the first minister level visit in Pakistan in the last 10 years. In 2012 Prime Minister’s foreign affairs Adviser Gauhar Rizvi visited Pakistan to join the D-8 Summit. Earlier in 2010 the then foreign secretary Mizarul Kayesh visited Pakistan to join secretary level meeting. Since then no high level team from Bangladesh visited Pakistan over the issue of war crimes perpetrated by the Pakistani forces during the Liberation War.
