NEW DELHI, June 26.-An international conference on Bangladesh will be held in New Delhi for three days beginning on September 18, it is learnt, says PTI.
A preparatory committee for organising the conference, already set up under the chairmanship of Mr. Jayaprakash Narayan, the Sarvodaya leader, will meet here on July 4.
A list of about 200 foreign delegates, who are likely to attend the conference, has already been prepared.
