Mijarul Quayes next UK envoy

"

The government has decided to appoint Foreign Secretary Mohamed Mijarul Quayes as the next high commissioner of Bangladesh to the United Kingdom on completion of his three- year tenure.
Meanwhile, the government has also decided to appoint Md Shahidul Haq as the next foreign secretary.
But Shahidul, an officer of 1986 batch of BCS (Foreign Affairs), would not be made foreign secretary right this moment as he is now holding the position of director general which is equivalent to joint secretary at the foreign ministry.
Additional Foreign Secretary Mustafa Kamal is expected to take over as acting foreign secretary from next month until Shahidul Haq is eligible for the foreign secretary post, said officials at the ministry.
The Superior Selection Board (SSB) confirmed his promotion to the post of joint secretary last month.
An official of the Ministry of Public Administration said the SSB may sit next month to consider pending promotions when Shahidul is likely to be promoted to the position of additional secretary when he can be made acting foreign secretary.
The post of high commissioner in London felt vacant after expiry of contract job of Rajshahi University former vice chancellor Dr Mohammad Sayeedur Rahman Khan.
