Bangla Press Desk: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer turned down a request to meet Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus during his visit to London aimed at raising support for efforts to recover billions of dollars siphoned off by the deposed regime of Sheikh Hasina, the Financial Times reports.
Yunus told the Financial Times the UK should feel "morally" obliged to help Bangladesh's new government track down funds "stolen" by the previous regime, much of it allegedly now in the UK.
However, Yunus said Starmer had not yet agreed to meet him.
"I have no direct conversation with him," Yunus said, although he added he had "no doubt" Starmer would support Bangladesh's efforts.
