Yunus is visiting the UK between June 10 to June 13.

"British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's meeting with Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus is not taking place", a Bangladeshi diplomat told ANI.

Earlier this week, the Awami League expressed concern over the upcoming scheduled meeting between Bangladesh interim government chief Muhammad Yunus and British PM Keir Starmer.

In a statement issued on Facebook, the party said: "The Awami League has today expressed deep concern over UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s reportedly scheduled meeting with Muhammad Yunus, the self-declared Chief Adviser of Bangladesh - warning that any formal meeting lends legitimacy to an unelected and unconstitutional administration."

"A formal letter from the Awami League’s UK branch has been sent to Downing Street, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the King’s Foundation, and the Commonwealth Secretariat, urging British officials not to unwittingly launder Yunus’s administration just as Bangladesh’s crisis deepens," the statement said.

Yunus arrived in the UK on Tuesday.
