Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia has been admitted to a specialized hospital in London for further medical treatment, her party confirmed on Wednesday.

The 79-year-old leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party had an emotional reunion with her son, Tarique Rahman, at Heathrow Airport after a seven-year separation.

The decision to admit Zia for treatment came after her health records were reviewed by experts at London Clinic. This visit is her first since 2017, following a presidential pardon after the fall of the Awami League government.
