Following a meeting with three other advisers, commerce adviser Hossain Zillur Rahman told reporters: "The pre-talks ended yesterday. Now, synthesis of the topics discussed is necessary."

Five advisers were tasked with holding the pre-dialogue talks, which began on Apr 7 as preparation for the government's formal dialogue with political parties.

They held separate meetings with political parties, including Awami League, both factions of BNP, Jatiya Party and Jamaat-e-Islami, with the business community, NGOs and union parishad representatives.

Government officials said the subjects which came up during the 22 days of discussion included release of Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia, announcement of an election date, withdrawal of emergency, holding local government polls before the national election and giving army power of arrest on voting day.

The advisers are expected to separate common issues, while subjects of disagreement will be arranged on the basis of importance, creating an the agenda for the main dialogue to be held in May headed by the chief adviser.
