Reports noted that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited Myanmar on December 5, 2011 on a three-day official visit. After that she went to Indonesia on December 7 to attend the fourth annual meeting of the Bali Democracy Forum and returned back to the country on December 9, 2011. 1

In another development, according to reports, Canada will not extradite Nur Chowdhury, one of the convicted killers of Bangabandhu, as a Canadian policy does not approve sending back a person where there is provision of death sentence. This was reportedly conveyed by Canadian High Commissioner in Dhaka Heather Cruden to Foreign Minister Dipu Moni at a meeting in the foreign ministry on December 4, 2011. 2
