Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir left Dhaka for China on Sunday night at 10:10 p.m. on a China Air flight. His visit comes at the invitation of the Chinese government, according to BNP Media Cell member Shairul Kabir Khan. Before his departure from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, the Chinese ambassador to Bangladesh met Fakhrul for a courtesy call and saw him off. Fakhrul is accompanied by his assistant private secretary Yunus Ali.

Earlier, on April 15, another BNP delegation traveled to China at the invitation of the Chinese government. That delegation was led by Ismail Jabiuallah, a member of the BNP Chairperson’s Advisory Council and the Prime Minister’s Adviser, along with several other senior BNP leaders. The visits reflect ongoing exchanges between the BNP and Chinese officials.

The source does not specify the duration or agenda of Fakhrul’s visit, leaving the purpose and expected outcomes of the trip unclear.
