British minister in Dhaka

British Aviation Minister Jim Fitzpatrick, MP, arrived in Dhaka yesterday on a six-day personal visit to promote a youth football development programme.
Fitzpatrick has arrived at the invitation of Canary Wharf, UK, a British-based group, which sponsors a four-year youth football development programme.
He will visit BKSP today to look at the coaching camp -- where 34 players are undergoing training of the third session of the second year. He is also expected to hold discussions with the country's football bosses and BKSP officials on building a proposed football academy.
The British minister will then depart for a three-day trip to Sylhet, home to the largest British-Bangladeshi expatriate community in Bangladesh.
