The ruling party’s general secretary spoke to reporters during a visit to the venue on Friday afternoon.
“All the preparations are complete. But there won’t be much talking. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is at the centre of our programme, will deliver speech with Deputy Leader of the House Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury in the chair,” he said.
There will also be a cultural function, Quader said and added that Hasina’s son and ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy will attend the programme.
In her speech, Hasina will also send a message about the next general election, the Awami League general secretary said.
The two-hour programme will begin at 3pm.
The Awami League is giving Hasina the reception for her role in Bangladesh’s socio-economic development, including recent achievements like the successful launch of Bangabandhu Satellite-I and the eligibility to gradate to a developing nation from a least developed country, and her recent achievements – Global Women’s Leadership Award and D Lit from Kazi Nazrul University of India.
