My recent visit to Bangladesh was incredible, a truly memorable experience to last a lifetime. I visit  Bangladesh relatively frequently, at least once or twice a year, but my visit in September 2019 will always be the most eventful and remarkable.

Since the founding of Conservative Friends of Bangladesh 13 years ago, I have led 5 visits to Bangladesh with Conservative Parliamentarians and activists.

Conservative Friends of Bangladesh - Project Shapla 2019 On 13th September 2019, the Conservative Friends of Bangladesh (CFOB) is leading its 5th social action project to Bangladesh. The team will be visiting Dhaka and Sylhet for one week until Friday 20th September 2019.

My personal message to the Conservative Friends of Bangladesh

‘Friends of’ groups provide our Party with magnificent support in a number of ways, from campaigning and
supporting our Councillors, MPs and candidates, to raising important issues and making sure that matters which
disproportionately affect communities are at the top of the Party’s agenda.

The CFOB held its annual gala fundraising dinner in Kensington on 17th July. The event was oversubscribed with nearly 300 members in attendance, the largest ever gathering in its 12-year history.

This week, St Albans MP Anne Main chaired the Conservative Friends of Bangladesh (CFoB) AGM in parliament.

Anne Main is MP for St Albans and is Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Bangladesh and the newly formed APPG on the Rights of the Rohingya. She is also President of the Conservative Friends of Bangladesh.
