In response, Hasina recalled Britain's contribution to Bangla-desh both during and after the liberation war.

She said the relation between the two countries was excellent and hoped that it would further deepen through mutual cooperation in various fields.

Hasina recalled that she had started active politics while she was in London in exile in 1982 and many British MPs, including Thomas Williams and Peter Shore, helped her a lot in those crucial days.
