Yunus-Tarique talks a 'game-over' moment for conspirators: Shafiqul Alam

Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam listed five specific achievements as Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus concluded his four-day visit to the United Kingdom on Friday.

He said a "historic meeting" between the leader of the interim government Muhammad Yunus and leader of the country's largest political party BNP's Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman is one of the five achievements.

"It is a 'game-over' moment for the conspirators," Alam said in a post from his verified Facebook account.

The press secretary said a prestigious award from King Charles III and a 30-minute one-on-one meeting with the British monarch is a recognition of the July uprising and epochal changes in Bangladesh since July last year.

He said UK's NCA freezed 320 properties worth £170 million of a top aide of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

NCA officials said this was the single biggest asset freeze by the agency, Alam mentioned.

"It is a message for all the corrupt officials, business people and politicians. It is also a highlight of what the Yunus-led IG has been doing to recover assets," said the press secretary.

He said a series of meetings between British ministers, lawmakers and officials, and Bangladesh officials, including the Bangladesh Bank governor and the ACC chief, paved the way for deeper engagements for asset recovery.

"Hopefully, we can use this experience all across the world," Alam said.

He listed "some more hope for resolving the Rohingya issue" as the fifth achievement of the visit.

Yunus and his small entourage departed from Heathrow (LHR) Airport, London by a commercial flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines at 7:15pm (London time), Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder told UNB.

High Commissioner of Bangladesh to the United Kingdom Abida Islam saw him off at the airport.

The chief adviser is scheduled to arrive at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Saturday morning.
