PM to brief media on tri-nation tour this afternoon

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will hold a press conference this afternoon to brief the media about the outcome of her recent tri-nation visit to Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom.

"The press conference will be held at her official Gono Bhaban residence at 4:00pm," Prime Minister's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim told BSS.

On April 25, Hasina left Dhaka for Tokyo on a four-day official visit to Japan on the first leg of her tri-nation visit. She went to Japan at the invitation of her Japanese counterpart Kishida Fumio.

On the second leg of her visit to Washington DC, the prime minister attended a programme marking 50 years of Bangladesh-World Bank partnership and some side events that include a roundtable with US business leaders and several meetings with WB's incoming president Ajay Banga and managing director of the International Monetary Fund Kristalina Georgieva alongside a civic reception.

On the third leg of her visit to London, the premier attended the coronation of Charles III as the king of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms.

Hasina returned home from London on May 9.
