LONDON: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Sunday left here for Pakistan after concluding his five-day official visit to the United Kingdom.

The prime minister was seen off by senior officials of the British government at the Heathrow Airport.

High Commissioner to the UK Wajid Shamsul Hassan and his counterpart in Islamabad Adam Thomson were also present.

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Qamar Zaman Kaira who is part of the Gilani's entourage, told APP prior to departure that Prime Minister Gilani's visit on the invitation of British Prime Minister David Cameron would yield positive outcome in view of bilateral relations between the two countries.

Kaira said the warm response by both the British government and the Royal family extended to Gilani showed their level of interest and confidence in Pakistan's democratic government.

He quoted Prime Minister Cameron stating that Pakistan's friend is UK's friend and Pakistan's enemy is UK's enemy, and said such expression of support had added another feather to Gilani's successful visit.

Kaira termed the launch of Conservative Friends of Pakistan during Gilani's visit a welcome initiative and said it will help energise the Pakistani community to participate more actively in the British politics.

Gilani during his stay in London held enhanced strategic dialogue with his British counterpart and attended the state opening of the British parliament by the Queen.

He met the members of the British Cabinet and the foreign minister besides interacting with Pakistani community in the UK.
