National Citizen Party (NCP) Convenor Nahid Islam, MP, will visit the UK from November 13 to 21, marking his first visit to the country since the July Uprising, the party said.

His itinerary includes meetings at Westminster, discussions with Cambridge University student groups and a reception organised by NCP UK.

Barrister Nurul Huda Juned, the NCP’s central expatriate welfare secretary, confirmed the dates of the visit to Daily Waadaa.

He described the visit as a historic occasion for the party and the Bangladeshi community in the UK.

Juned said the NCP had formed a 28-member preparatory committee to coordinate the visit. NCP Joint Convener Ehtesham Haque is chairing the committee, with Juned serving as member secretary and M A Himel as treasurer.

The programme includes meetings at the House of Commons in Westminster, discussions with student associations at the University of Cambridge, and meetings with professionals, students and community leaders.

NCP UK will also host a reception in Nahid’s honour.
