Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday invited his Bangladeshi counterpart, Sheikh Hasina, to visit his country.

"The Pakistan prime minister several times invited our prime minister to visit Pakistan," Bangladesh High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Saida Muna Tasneem told reporters in a briefing.

She said the Pakistani premier made the requests as he met his Bangladeshi counterpart at the funeral ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is now in London to attend the queen’s funeral.

Sheikh Hasina also had a long parley with former British prime minister David Cameron.

Cameron wished to visit Bangladesh in near future, added Muna.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II along with other world leaders at Westminster Abbey.

Hundreds of dignitaries were there including the queen's former prime ministers, as well as US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron.

Queen's funeral service took place at Westminster Abbey - the building in which she was married and crowned queen.

On September 15, Sheikh Hasina arrived in London on an official visit to the United Kingdom to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
