BSS, Dhaka
Speaker Barrister Jamir Uddin Sircar said the government and the Jatiya Sangsad (JS) have been sincerely working together to make the forthcoming Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) conference a success.

He said this during a meeting with newly appointed Norwegian envoy Ms Aud Lise Norheim at his Sangsad Bhaban office yesterday.

The Speaker said, about 550 representatives from 132 national and regional parliaments of 46 countries have shown their interests to attend the conference.

They also discussed matters relating to bilateral and international issues.

Speaker Sircar said Bangladesh and Norway have a very strong diplomatic relation and the two countries are sharing their happiness and woes for long time.

The Speaker said interaction between the parliaments and exchange of delegation can greatly help the lawmakers in acquiring knowledge on parliamentary rules and practices.

Terming Norway as a development partner, the Speaker hoped that the country would continue its contribution to boost the agro-based economy of Bangladesh.
