Pascal Lamy, director general of World Trade Organisation, arrived in Dhaka on Thursday on a two-day visit to discuss different trade related issues.
Commerce Secretary Mahbub Ahmed received Lamy at Shahjalal International Airport in the afternoon.
The WTO chief will hold a meeting with Commerce Minister GM Quader at state guesthouse Padma at 7:00pm, said an official at the ministry.
Apart from holding meetings with the foreign and finance ministers, he will visit Chittagong.
Lamy's visit to Bangladesh is important as the country is largely dependent on WTO policies for overseas trade, Quader said earlier.
Invited by the commerce ministry, Lamy also visited Bangladesh a few months ago.
