Nahid Islam to visit UK: civic reception set in East London

National Citizen Party convener and parliamentary opposition chief whip Nahid Islam will arrive in the United Kingdom on 13 November for a week-long official visit. The trip marks his first journey to Britain since the political party was founded.

Announcing the itinerary at a press conference in East London, party leaders confirmed that Nahid will meet members of the UK Parliament's International Development Committee, Human Rights Watch and the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. Talks will centre on Bangladesh's democratic transition, state institutional reforms and securing justice for victims of the July uprising. He is also scheduled to deliver a speech at the University of Cambridge.

A major focus of the visit will be engaging with the British-Bangladeshi community, culminating in a civic reception held in London on 16 November to hear diaspora priorities and contributions.
