Speaker to join ASEP meet in Brussels
DHAKA, Sept 13, 2018 (BSS) – A Bangladesh delegation, led by Jatiya
Sangsad Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, will attend the 10th meeting of
the Asia-Europe Parliamentary Partnership (ASEP) slated for September 27-28
next in Brussels.
The Speaker gave her consent to lead the Bangladesh team in the
conference as Bangladesh Ambassador to Belgium Md Shahdat Hossain met her
here today, said a press release of the Parliamentary Secretariat.
The envoy appraised the Speaker of different aspects of the ASEP-10th
meeting arranged by the European Parliament in Brussels.
The ASEP is the parliamentary extension of the Asian-European political
dialogue, an effort to enhance relations between Europe and Asia.
The most visible element of this dialogue has traditionally been the
biannual Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM), an intergovernmental summit first held
in 1996.
