PM to brief media today

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is set brief the media about the outcome of her just-concluded visit to the United Kingdom at Gonobhaban in the morning.

The press conference will be held at the prime minister's official residence at 11:30am, a press release of the Prime Minister's Office said.

The premier visited the UK at the invitation of her British counterpart David Cameron and UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake.

The PM led a 20-member high-powered Bangladesh delegation at the Girl Summit, 2014 held in the British capital on Tuesday.

This was Sheikh Hasina's first visit to any European country after the January 5 elections in Bangladesh.

Hasina attended the high-level session of the summit and interacted with First Lady of Burkina Faso, Chantal Compaore, and Pakistan's famous education activist Malala Yousafzai at Walworth Academy. The session was moderated by UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake.

The UK government and the UNICEF jointly hosted the first-ever Girl Summit aimed at mobilising domestic and international efforts to end Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Child, Early and Forced Marriage (CEFM) within a generation.
