Foreign Minister Dipu Moni has instructed Bangladeshi diplomats abroad not to attend any "political" events hosted by any group, ruling or opposition. The minister's directive came after a meeting with her ministry's senior civil servants, who sat recently to discuss a letter from an ambassador seeking her permission to attend a political programme organised by local Awami League unit in a European country. She instructed the foreign secretary to notify this to all officials serving in 46 Bangladesh missions or consulate offices. — bdnews24.com
