Starmer declines to meet Bangladesh leader tracking down missing billions

  • Bangladesh's interim leader Muhammad Yunus visited London from June 10 to 13, 2025, seeking UK support to recover billions stolen by the previous Awami League regime.
  • Yunus expected a bilateral meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and an audience with King Charles III, but Starmer declined to meet him or discuss the fund recovery.
  • Yunus stated that his visit was intended to secure increased support from the UK, alleging extensive corruption during Sheikh Hasina's long tenure in office, with illicit funds hidden in the UK and various other countries.
  • He emphasized the UK’s legal and moral obligation to aid Bangladesh, stating, “This is stolen money,” and noted UK government assistance is ongoing in tracing the funds.
  • Yunus faced protests from British Bangladeshis accusing his government of abuses, and his visit marked the start of planned further efforts to seek support from various UK sectors.
