Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is likely to visit Japan at the end of November as the two countries are eyeing to further strengthen their comprehensive partnership.

“They (the Japanese side) have invited PM Hasina. We are working on it,” Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen told reporters at his office on Tuesday.

Momen recently visited Japan and paid tribute to former Prime Minister of Japan late Shinzo Abe attending his state funeral in Tokyo on behalf of the government and the people of Bangladesh.

Later in a courtesy meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Momen expressed deep grief over the death of Shinzo Abe on behalf of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the people of Bangladesh.

Recalling Abe's contributions, he said, Shinzo Abe was a true friend of Bangladesh and during his time, the relationship between the two countries developed into a comprehensive partnership.
