New UN resident coordinator meets Mirza Fakhrul

Newly-appointed UN Resident Coordinator Gwyn Lewis has met BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday.

The meeting was held at the BNP chairperson's Gulshan office.

BNP standing committee member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury and organising secretary Shama Obayed were also present at the meeting, reports UNB.

Contacted, Amir Khasru said it was just a courtesy call with the newly appointed UN envoy.

This is the first meeting between Gwyn Lewis and the BNP leaders since she was appointed as the UN Resident Coordinator (UNRC) in Bangladesh.
