UK's under-secy for FCDO arrives today

Sir Philip Barton, Permanent Under-Secretary of the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), will arrive in Dhaka today (Monday) on a two-day visit, a spokesperson for the UK High Commission announced on Sunday.
Sir Philip's main focus will be attending the fifth UK-Bangladesh Strategic Dialogue, chaired by Bangladesh's Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen.
Building on the UK and Bangladesh's historic links, the strategic dialogue will reflect the two countries' shared commitment to develop a modern economic, trade and security partnership.
The dialogue will cover political and diplomatic relations, economic, trade and development partnerships as well as global, regional and security issues, including the Rohingya crisis.
It will also provide an opportunity to boost economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, cooperation on COP28 and joint work on climate financing, adaptation and resilience to climate impacts, and showcase the UK's substantial economic development investment offer.
During his visit in Dhaka, the UK under-secretary will also meet politicians, civil society members, business leaders and youth representatives.
