Dhaka, May 28 (UNB) - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina leaves here for Doha on Tuesday morning on a two-day official visit to Qatar to attend the Annual US-Islamic World Forum.

The emphasis for this year’s forum is on the challenge of change, and it will feature plenaries on social, political, and strategic transformations in the Muslim world.
 
Policymakers and officials, thought leaders and activists, and entrepreneurs and journalists will meet in various sessions to facilitate productive dialogue on the problems in US relations with the Islamic world.
