PM to brief media tomorrow

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will appear before the media tomorrow to brief the outcomes of her recent visit to Bulgaria, Japan and Saudi Arabia.

“The media briefing is scheduled to be held at the prime minister’s Gono Bhaban official residence around 4:00pm tomorrow,” Noore Elahi Mina, assistant press secretary to the premier, told The Daily Star.

Eminent journalists and professionals will take part the press conference, Mina added.

Sheikh Hasina, also the president of the ruling Awami League, returned home this evening concluding her five-day official visit to the Kingdom Saudi Arabia.

A Bangladesh Biman flight carrying the prime minister and members of her entourage landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport around 7:50pm, reports BSS.

Sheikh Hasina paid the visit at the invitation of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and it was her visit to Saudi Arabia after the King's swearing-in in January 2015.

She left Dhaka for Jeddah on June 3. She performed the holy "umrah" in Makkah and offered Ziarat at Rawza Mubarak of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) at Masjid-e Nabvi during her stay in the kingdom.
