British PM Leaves After Two-Day Official Visit
SEPANG (Malaysia), April 13 (Bernama) -- British Prime Minister David
Cameron who was on a two-day official visit to Malaysia, left for Myanmar Friday
morning before heading home.
Cameron was seen off at the KL International Airport by Deputy Foreign
Minister Datuk Richard Riot, Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister
Mukhriz Mahathir and British High Commissioner to Malaysia Simon
Featherstone.
The visit, the first by Cameron after being elected Prime Minister in May
2010 and the first for a British prime minister in almost 20 years, saw the
reinforcement of bilateral relations between the two countries.
Cameron was accompanied by Britain's Deputy Trade and Investment Minister
Lord Stephen Green and Deputy Minister of Universities and Science David Willets
together with a delegation comprising government officials, business leaders and
the British media.
On Thursday, Najib and Cameron held bilateral talks for about an hour at
Seri Perdana (PM's official residence) with discussions covering political and
diplomatic relations, trade and investment, education and training, science,
technology and environment, as well as, defence and security.
His visit will precede that of Britain's Royal Couple Prince William and
Princess Katherine, who will visit Johor in September as part of their tour to
several countries in conjunction with Queen Elizabeth II's diamond jubilee
celebrations.
