Dhaka, April 28 -- British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke on Tuesday said the UK, since June 2025, has frozen over £250 million in assets in the UK linked to Bangladeshi individuals, underlining their determination to uphold the rule of law and the integrity of the international financial system.

"We are very committed to working further in that area. Of course, we can't talk about specific cases. They all need to follow due legal process and make sure that they are evidence-based. But it is a high priority for us," she said while responding to a question during "DCAB Talk".

Diplomatic Correspondents Association, Bangladesh (DCAB) hosted the "DCAB Talk" at Jatiya Press Club.
