Syed Ahmed Maroof, the High Commissioner of Pakistan to Bangladesh, accompanied by his wife, paid a courtesy visit to Begum Khaleda Zia, the Chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
The High Commissioner arrived at Khaleda Zia's Gulshan residence at 8:30 PM on Tuesday and spent about one and a half hours there. BNP Standing Committee member Professor Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain and Organizational Secretary Shama Obaid were also in attendance during the meeting.
According to BNP Media Cell member Shairul Kabir Khan, the High Commissioner entered the BNP Chairperson’s residence at 8:30 PM and departed around 10 PM.
Following the meeting, Professor Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain briefed reporters, stating, “The High Commissioner discussed a range of topics with the BNP Chairperson during his visit. He acknowledged Ziaur Rahman’s role in the formation of Bangladesh and expressed Pakistan’s interest in strengthening its relationship with Bangladesh.”
He further added, “The High Commissioner inquired about Madam’s health, wished her a swift recovery, and conveyed greetings from Pakistan’s President and Prime Minister. In return, Madam extended her regards.”
Notably, the Pakistani High Commissioner also met with Mirza Fakhrul at the BNP Chairperson’s office in Gulshan last November.
Following Sheikh Hasina’s government’s fall on August 5, amid student-led protests, Khaleda Zia was released the next day after her sentence was commuted.
Later, British High Commissioner Sarah Cook visited Khaleda Zia at her residence on September 5, followed by a meeting with Saudi Ambassador Essa Yousef Essa Al-Duhailan on November 25.
