Rocca will hold meetings with Foreign Minister M Morshed Khan and other high officials of the foreign ministry on May 11. She will call on Prime Minister Khaleda Zia on May 12.

Diplomatic sources said Dhaka and Washington will review the entire gamut of bilateral relations during the official talks. Regional and Middle East issues will also come up for discussion, they added.

Rocca's visit will be the first high-level tour from America after President Bush was inaugurated for a second term in the White House. She had come to Dhaka months before the US presidential election last year.
