Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will leave for the United Kingdom tomorrow to attend the COP26 and other bilateral meetings. She will address the key segment of the COP26 on November 1 hosted by the UK, said Momen at a media briefing at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today.

The prime minister will hold a bilateral meeting with her British counterpart Boris Johnson during her visit there.

After Glasgow, she will visit London from November 3 to 8 before heading to Paris, France at the invitation of the French president and prime minister, said the minister.

Hasina will have bilateral meetings with the French president and prime minister during her Paris visit.
