Two members of the US Congress visiting Dhaka asked Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen about the government’s plan on the upcoming 12th Parliament elections. He also asked whether there was any way to reach an agreement between the two main political parties – the Awami League, which rules Bangladesh, and the de facto opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
