MPs can’t  use missions abroad for meetings sans MFA’s permission

Bangladesh missions abroad have been instructed to route requests from visiting members of parliament for meetings and programmes through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dhaka.

The instruction applies when MPs seek to use mission premises for meetings or ask diplomats to arrange programmes with government officials or private-sector representatives in their host countries. The decision was communicated to all Bangladesh missions abroad, except honorary consulates, in a confidential foreign ministry message dated Sept 27.�"bdnews24
