The National Consensus Commission is set to begin its second round of dialogue with political parties today, aiming to build broader agreement on key national reforms.

The discussions will commence at 4:30 pm at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka.

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus will inaugurate the session, according to Chief Adviser’s Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder, who briefed the media on Sunday at the venue.

All political parties and stakeholders involved in the ongoing reform process have been invited to participate in the dialogue. Azad expressed hope that this round of talks will lead to the finalization of the July Charter, a pivotal document expected to outline national reform commitments.

The Consensus Commission was established to review and consolidate recommendations submitted by five major reform commissions focused on the constitution, judiciary, electoral system, public administration, and the Anti-Corruption Commission.

The first phase of dialogue took place between February 15 and May 19, during which the Commission met with representatives from 33 political parties.
