The then British prime minister Edward Heath received him at 10 Downing Street. She thanked the UK government and its people for their support to Bangladesh and hoped that the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and UK would reach a new height in the days ahead. The UK is one the largest development partners of Bangladesh and remains the second biggest foreign investor. The state minister was in London for a 12-hour transit ahead of his trip to Canada via the United States. This was his first visit to the UK after taking office as the state minister for foreign affairs for a second term.
