His address promises to offer valuable insights into migration policy, economic contributions of expatriates, and the broader impact of Bangladeshis abroad.
BNP Events at the National Press Club
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) will hold dual sessions at the National Press Club today. At 11:00 am, Dr. Abdul Moin Khan, a key member of the party’s standing committee, will attend a discussion at Abdus Salam Hall as the chief guest.
