Fakhrul-led BNP team leaves for China June 24

A high-level delegation of the BNP, led by its Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, is scheduled to embark on a visit to China on June 24 at the invitation of the Communist Party of China (CPC), report agencies.
"The CPC extended a formal invitation for the visit, which is expected to focus on strengthening bilateral ties and exchanging party-level experiences," said BNP media cell member Sayrul Kabir Khan.
He said BNP Standing Committee Members Mirza Abbas, Gayeshwar Chandra Roy and Begum Selima Rahman, as well as Media Cell Convener Professor Dr Moudud Hossain Alamgir Pavel, will be part of the delegation.
Sayrul said some other senior BNP leaders may be included in the delegation. "The list of the BNP delegates will be finalised soon."
Party insiders said the visit underscores BNP's intent to deepen relations with China, which remains a key development partner for Bangladesh.
They believe the visit may play a crucial role in bolstering diplomatic engagement with Beijing, especially in the context of a possible future political transition in Bangladesh.
BNP leaders also view the trip as part of a broader effort by the Chinese government to build and maintain relationships across the political spectrum in Bangladesh.
