Dhaka - Iceland President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson was scheduled to arrive Friday in Dhaka on a four-day official visit to Bangladesh, diplomatic officials said Wednesday. Grimsson plans to chair an international symposium in Dhaka on climate change and meet with President Iajuddin and other senior officials in Bangladesh's caretaker government. He was also expected to meet with Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus, the founder of Grameen Bank, which pioneered micro-credits for poor farmers and cottage industries. Grimsson had originally been scheduled to arrive in Bangladesh Tuesday after he attended the Beijing Olympic Games but his visit was postponed, Foreign Ministry officials said.
