PM to visit foreign ministry tomorrow

This will be her first visit to foreign ministry since she assumed the office in October 2001.

Earlier, Khaleda visited different ministries and held talks with the officials to expedite government activities.

But her visit to foreign ministry will be different one as it is aimed mainly to thank the officials for their strenuous striving to make the just-held 13th Saarc summit a success.

Official sources said the PM will also have a lunch with the officials there.

Earlier, the foreign ministry cancelled all leaves including the weekly holidays from October 21 to the end of the summit on November 13. During the Eid holidays, the ministry was closed only on Eid day.

Khaleda is expected to make a call for infusing fresh dynamism into her government's 'economic diplomacy' to add substance to the parlance.

Ahead of the visit of the PM after assuming the Saarc chair, the foreign ministry building is being refurbished to give it a new look.
