BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday had a meeting with visiting UK Minister for the Indo-Pacific Catherine West and discussed various issues of mutual interest between the two nations.

The hour-long meeting, which began around 4:30 pm, was held at the British High Commissioner's residence inside the Baridhara British High Commission, said BNP media cell member Sayrul Kabir Khan, reports UNB.

British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke, BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury and Organising Secretary Shama Obed were present at the meeting, he said.

Sayrul said the discussions covered a wide range of issues of mutual interest between Bangladesh and the UK, but he did not provide further details.

The UK minister arrived in Dhaka on Saturday on a two-day official visit.

Earlier in the day, she had meetings with Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus and Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain.
