New Zealand PM’s Special envoy due Sunday

Jim Bolger, special envoy to New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, is scheduled to arrive here on a two-day visit on Sunday.   An official at the Foreign Ministry said Jim Bolger, also a former Prime Minister of New Zealand, will seek Bangladesh’s support as New Zealand is a candidate for a non-permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council in 2015-2016.   He is expected to meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali and Foreign Secretary M Shahidul Haque during his stay in Dhaka, and will discuss issues related to bilateral trades between the two countries.   The UN Security Council consists of 15 members — five permanent and 10  non-permanent members.                                                -UNB
