Outgoing British high commissioner Anwar Choudhury leaves Dhaka Saturday, ending his four-year diplomatic assignment in Bangladesh.

An official with British High Commission said Choudhury would fly British Airways at 8.20am from Zia International Airport.

His tenure as the top UK diplomat for Bangladesh ended on May 13, to be replaced by Stephen Evans as new high commissioner.

Choudhury will join the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office as a director (international organisations).

Choudhury, a Bangladeshi-born British diplomat, was among the most active in the diplomatic circle.

The envoy had engaged in shuttle diplomacy, meeting different political leaders frequently in 2006 when the BNP and the Awami League found themselves in the most violent phase of bickering politics in the build-up to power transfer to a caretaker government.

Choudhury came to Bangladesh in May 2004.
