Commonwealth Secretary-General Don McKinnon was preparing to travel this week to Bangladesh to discuss the current political deadlock and possible aid for elections, his office said Sunday.
The trip to Dhaka from Tuesday to Thursday will be followed by one to India where he will meet Indian leaders and speak at a conference that aims to narrow the digital divide between rich and poor countries.
In Bangladesh, McKinnon will discuss "the current political situation" with the caretaker government's chief advisor Fakhruddin Ahmed and other members of the non-party caretaker government, his office said in a statement.
He will also meet with political leaders and the chief electoral commissioner to discuss preparations for the postponed elections and "possible Commonwealth assistance in that regard." Bangladesh's general elections were scheduled to be held on January 22 but were cancelled amid a row over alleged vote-rigging.
