The Bangladesh High Commissioner to the UK Saida Muna Tasneem has briefed UK's all-party parliamentary group (APPG) about the inconvenience caused by UK's travel ban that has put Bangladesh among those nations on its "red list".

She said the decision will seriously hurt bilateral trade in the apparel, food and beverage sectors and also emergency medical treatment.
