Chief adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed is expected to speak about the upcoming elections, the state of emergency and political dialogue in an address to the nation 'very soon', an adviser said Wednesday, reports bdnews24.com.

"The chief adviser will make the issues clear in his speech to the nation," communications adviser Ghulam Quader told reporters after submitting a report on pre-dialogue talks to the chief adviser.

Quader could not give a specific date for when Fakhruddin might make his address, saying only that it was expected to be "very soon".

"We have reported to the chief adviser on the pre-dialogue talks," Quader said.

The chief adviser will present the report at an advisory council meeting, scheduled to be held later Wednesday, so all advisers may be appraised of the issues raised in the pre-dialogue talks, the adviser said.
