Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie, a member of the British royal family, arrived in Cox’s Bazar on Monday evening for her three-day visit to Bangladesh.
The aircraft carrying her landed at Cox’s Bazar International Airport at around 5:55pm.
She is scheduled to visit a Rohingya refugee camp in Ukhia on Tuesday morning. During the visit, she will observe the activities of organisations supporting Rohingya refugees and learn about protection, rehabilitation, and assistance programmes for displaced women, children, and families.
She is also expected to visit initiatives aimed at strengthening the capacity and leadership skills of members of the refugee community.
Security has been tightened across Cox’s Bazar following her arrival, with law enforcement agencies taking additional security measures in areas connected to her visit.
Her visit is expected to further strengthen the longstanding friendly relations between Bangladesh and the United Kingdom, while also highlighting cooperation between the two countries on women’s and children’s rights and humanitarian assistance.
The Duchess is scheduled to leave Bangladesh on November 11.
Sophie is the wife of Prince Edward, King Charles III’s younger brother.
