Meghna state guest house, State guest house in Ramna Thana, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The Meghna State Guest House is a two-story government building in the Ramna area that serves as official accommodation for foreign dignitaries and high-ranking guests. The facility includes conference rooms, dining areas, and various residential spaces for diplomatic functions.
The building was constructed in 1962 and served as the Vice-President's residence until 1990 during the administration of H. M. Ershad. It was subsequently converted to its present function as a state guest house for official use.
Today the building hosts important diplomatic meetings between Bangladesh and other nations, where government officials exchange views and conduct negotiations. The formal architectural setting reflects its role as a center for international relations and cooperation.
The facility is located on Shaheed Captain Monsur Ali Sharani and is a secured government building that is normally not open to visitors. Tourists can view the exterior and take photos, but should be respectful of security restrictions and access limitations around the area.
In 2009, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina temporarily stayed at the building while renovations were underway at Ganabhaban, following recommendations from security agencies. This brief chapter reveals that even the nation's top officials rely on the facility during unexpected circumstances.
