Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday left London for French capital Paris wrapping up her official visit to Glasgow and London.

‘A VVIP flight (BG-2106) of Biman Bangladesh Airlines carrying the PM and her entourage members departed from the Heathrow International Airport of London at 09:24am (London local time),’ Prime Minister’s press secretary Ihsanul  Karim said.

Bangladesh High Commissioner to the UK Saida Muna Tasneem saw the prime minister off at the airport.

Before leaving her Palace of Residence in London, the prime minister urged the Bangladeshi expatriates in the United Kingdom to work for the welfare of the country and its people.

‘You (Bangladeshi expatriates in UK) will have to work for the welfare of your own country and its people,’ she said.

The prime minister said this as the expatriates gathered in front of her Palace of Residence in London to see her off, Ihsanul Karim said.

She also expressed her hope to meet with them, once the Covid-19 pandemic is over.

On November 3, the prime minister arrived in London, the capital of United Kingdom, from Glasgow after attending World Leaders Summit at the COP26 and other events.

On October 31, she reached Glasgow on a two-week visit to the UK and France.
