BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman on Thursday evening entered the state guest house Jamuna with his family to pay a courtesy call on Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus.
Tarique arrived at Jamuna at around 7:30pm.
Earlier, he left the BNP chairperson’s office in Gulshan at 6:42pm and went to his residence, from where he departed for Jamuna with his family at 6:52pm.
Earlier in the afternoon, Law Adviser Asif Nazrul told a briefing at the Foreign Service Academy that Tarique Rahman would meet the Chief Adviser with his family as part of a courtesy call, stressing that the meeting carries no political agenda.
This will be the first formal meeting betweenf Yunus and Tarique Rahman in Bangladesh since the latter’s return home.
The two last met in person on 13 June last year in London during Yunus’ visit to the UK. That meeting took place at the Dorchester Hotel, when Tarique Rahman was serving as BNP’s acting chairman, and was followed by a joint statement from representatives of both sides.
After spending 17 years in exile in the UK, Tarique returned to Bangladesh on 25 December.
