An Emirates Airlines flight carrying the Chief Adviser and his delegation left Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport for London at 7:30pm.
Muhammad Yunus is expected to meet with King Charles III and hold bilateral talks with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
The chief adviser is also anticipated to meet with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, other senior ministers, political leaders, and prominent business figures during his visit.
In recognition of his globally significant contributions, King Charles III has nominated Muhammad Yunus for the King Charles III Harmony Award 2025. The honor acknowledges his lifelong work promoting peace, sustainability, and harmony between people and the environment.

During his visit, Yunus is expected to hold courtesy meetings with the Secretaries-General of the Commonwealth and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), where he will highlight Bangladesh’s broader international engagements.
