Dhaka, May 20 -- Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus is scheduled to pay an official visit to the United Kingdom (UK) shortly after Eid-ul-Azha as the two countries are putting in efforts to refresh their bonds and work ever more closely together on economic, trade and investment fronts.

The visit is likely to take place from June 9-13, a senior official told UNB on Tuesday, adding that the both sides are working on finalising the agenda of the visit.

The Chief Adviser is likely to hold talks with King Charles and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer during the planned visit.

The recovery of laundered money and assets abroad will also be there as an important issue to be discussed during the visit.
