Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus held a private one-on-one meeting with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace on Thursday, where they discussed Bangladesh’s ongoing reform initiatives.

Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam told reporters that the 30-minute meeting, held at 11:20 am local time, was cordial and significant. “It was the most important event of this tour,” he said.

The Chief Adviser briefed the King on the reforms underway in Bangladesh, describing the country’s ongoing transition. Alam noted that King Charles and Prof Yunus have known each other for a long time, which allowed them to discuss a range of topics in a friendly atmosphere.
