Zubaida Rahman, wife of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, left for London on Sunday morning after celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr in Dhaka.
She departed from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight BG-201, which is expected to land at Heathrow Airport later in the day, airline officials said.
According to BNP media cell sources, Zubaida Rahman is traveling to London to take part in medical training. She may later travel to the United States.
Zubaida Rahman returned to Bangladesh last year after spending nearly 17 years in London with her husband. During her stay there, she worked as a cardiologist at a hospital.
On Saturday, she attended an Eid reception at the state guest house Jamuna alongside the prime minister.
Later, she visited Sher-e-Bangla Nagar with her husband Tarique Rahman to offer prayers at the graves of former president Ziaur Rahman and former prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia.
