The second round of dialogue of the National Consensus Commission with the political parties will resume on Tuesday.
The talks will begin at 11 am in the capital’s Foreign Service Academy, said a press release on Sunday.
The unfinished discussion over Article 70 of the constitution, the chairmanship nomination for parliamentary standing committees, and the women's representation in parliament will be held.
Additionally, two new issues — the bicameral parliament and the appointment of the Chief Justice —will be discussed on that day.
The National Consensus Commission will also hold talks on June 18 and 19, but the agenda for the two days has not been announced yet.
On June 02, Chief Adviser and Commission Chairman Prof Muhammad Yunus opened the second round of the dialogue and then the commission sat with political parties just for a day (June 03) to discuss three reform issues.
Nearly 30 parties, including BNP, Jamaat, and the National Citizens Party-NCP, joined the June 03 talks presided over by Commission vice chairman Prof Ali Riaz.
Three issues — Article 70 of the constitution, the chairmanship nomination for parliamentary standing committees, and women's representation in parliament — were widely discussed.
The Consensus Commission started its first round of talks with political parties on March 20 to forge a national consensus on state reform initiatives undertaken by the interim government.
The Commission held talks with 33 parties and alliances, including BNP, Jamaat and NCP, before concluding the first round of dialogues on May 19.
Formed on February 15, 2025, under the leadership of Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus, the Commission was tasked with shaping a unified national stance on critical reforms.
