A four-member European Union election monitoring mission has arrived in Dhaka on a two-month-long visit.

The team landed at Dhaka airport in a special flight Wednesday morning (November 29).

The delegation would discuss with high government officials on the upcoming elections. They will start their official mission on Sunday.

Earlier, EU communicated to Bangladesh that they were not sending a full-fledged election observation mission. On September 20, in a letter, the alliance of 27 countries of Europe, announced the decision to the Election Commission.

On the other hand, the EU will hold a joint meeting with the Election Commission (EC) this afternoon on the issue of sending observers in the upcoming national elections. A representative of 10 members of the organization is expected to attend the meeting.
