BEC hosts 2-day SAARC CECs meeting, beginning on May 29
Dhaka, May 26 (UNB) - The Bangladesh Election Commission hosts a regional meeting beginning May 29, aimed at building a forum among the Election Commissions of the SAARC countries to exchange information, innovation and election experiences.
The meeting on ‘Cooperation of Election Commissions in the South Asia Regions’ will be held at the city’s Radisson Hotel where the heads of the Election Commissions of the SAARC countries will take part in the two-day meeting on May 29-30.
Law Minister Barrister Shafique Ahmed will be chief guest of the inaugural ceremony of the regional meeting.
Among the SAARC countries, the Chief Election Commissioners of Afghanistan, Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan, India, and Maldives are expected to attend the function. There will not be representative
from Sri Lanka as its CEC post is presently vacant.
EC secretary M Humayun Kabir on Wednesday revealed this at a press briefing at the conference room of the EC secretariat.
He said the meeting will aim at providing a forum for the targeted election commissions to create an enabling environment towards building an institutional framework through personal contact and
sharing of experiences from recent elections as well as innovation in the electoral fields, and agreement on an institutional framework for increased cooperation between the Election Commissions in the SAARC region.
M Humayun Kabir also said that there will be a media corner at the Radisson Hotel for the journalists so that they could interview the invited guests at their convenient time.
He, however, asked the interested journalists to contact the Director (PR) or Hotel Radisson to fix the times for the interviews.
