Dipu Moni flies abroad again
Returning home upon a month-long visit a day ago (October 31), Foreign Minister Dipu Moni yesterday left Dhaka on a two-nation trip for 12 days.
Officials said the foreign minister yesterday left for Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj. She will stay there for a week.
On November 8, she will go to the Maldives to attend the 17th Saarc Summit slated for November 10-11. She will attend the Council of Ministers meeting on November 9 there.
The Council of Ministers is comprised of the foreign ministers of the eight member states of the Saarc -- Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
The foreign ministers at their meeting will finalise the agenda for discussion by the summit leaders during the two-day meeting of the heads of the government and state.
The theme of this summit is “Building Bridges”, which is both in terms of physical connectivity and figurative political dialogue.
In October, Dr Dipu Moni visited Kuwait, the USA, the UK, Germany, and Australia.
