Tasnim Zara, joint member secretary of Bangladesh’s new political party, NCP, had breakfast with an important official from the US State Department at the Marriott Bonvoy Hotel in Kathmandu.

According to Northeast News, Zara met with US official Eric Meyer. Eric is the senior bureau officer for South and Central Asia. He coordinates with policy and administrative officials from several countries, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, and Nepal.

A Bangladeshi security source said that US diplomats were called for a “secret” meeting with Zara during his visit to Kathmandu.

Zara arrived in Kathmandu on Bangladesh Biman flight BG 371 from Dhaka on August 17.

This secret meeting, held over breakfast, lasted more than two hours and potentially several more meetings were held.

Northeast News reported that they were not aware of the topics discussed in Zara’s meeting with Eric. However, the media outlet said that the meeting is considered important given the political situation in Bangladesh and the uncertainty of early elections.
