PM lands home from London

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reached Dhaka from London after wrapping up her 16-day official visit to the US and UK.

A commercial flight (BG-208) of Biman Bangladesh Airlines carrying the enturage of the prime minister landed at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 12:15pm.

The flight earlier departed from London’s Heathrow Airport around 9:10pm (local time) on Tuesday.

During the flight, the prime minister walked around the plane, exchanged pleasantries with fellow passengers, and also took pictures with them.

It was a pleasant surprise for many unsuspecting passengers, who were elated to see the Bangladesh leader in person.

The prime minister arrived in London from Washington DC on September 30 via a British Airways flight.

In London, from September 30 to October 3, Sheikh Hasina attended reception hosted by the Bangladeshi community and held several courtesy calls with some dignitaries, including a delegation of the All Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) led by Rushanara Ali, MP, chair of APPG on Bangladesh and Rohingya and the UK shadow minister for investment and small business.

During her stay in New York from September 17 to 22, the premier attended the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session and other high-level side and bilateral events.

In Washington DC from September 23-29, Sheikh Hasina attended a reception accorded to her by Bangladeshi expatriates in the United States and visited the Bangladesh Embassy in Washington DC.
