Ruhul Alam to carry out routine works of foreign secy: MoFA

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs today (22 May) assigned Ruhul Alam Siddique, a secretary to the ministry, to carry out the routine works of the foreign secretary until further notice as the previous foreign secretary left his responsibilities.

The office order will come into effect on 23 May, a senior official at the ministry told UNB, referring to the changes.

In September last year, the government appointed Md Jashim Uddin as the 27th foreign secretary of Bangladesh.

A career diplomat, Jashim joined the Bangladesh Foreign Service in 1994.

Jashim, from the 13th batch of BCS (Foreign Affairs) Cadre, served extensively both at home and abroad.

Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Wednesday said there is "no issue of removal" regarding Foreign Secretary Jashim Uddin, but his responsibility will be changed as he desires to leave the current role.

"Actually, there is no issue of removal. He (FS) wants to leave this responsibility for various reasons. He is in the service. The responsibility will change. He will leave his current responsibility within the next couple of days," Adviser Hossain told reporters while responding to a question at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Bangladesh Ambassador to the United States Asad Alam Siam is likely to be the next foreign secretary of the country. There will be an acting foreign secretary until the appointment of the new foreign secretary.

"There was a proposed list of three candidates," a senior official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told UNB on Tuesday, noting that Ambassador Siam was chosen as the senior-most of the three candidates.

If there is no further change in the government's decision, Ambassador Siam will be the 28th foreign secretary of the country.
