Dr Yunus to present new Bangladesh at UNGA 

Hasan Mahamud from New York: This year’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA)  is particularly significant for Bangladesh, as it marks the 50th anniversary of Bangladesh's membership in the United Nations. 

Theme of this year's General Debate is “Leaving no one behind: Acting together for peace, sustainable development, and human dignity for present and future generations.”

Chief Adviser Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus is scheduled to deliver his speech at the high-level General Debate on September 27. 

He is expected to highlight the remarkable mass uprising over the past two months in Bangladesh and reaffirm his commitment to establishing a pro-people, welfare-oriented, and public interest-driven state mechanism. 

The chief adviser's speech will also feature issues such as Bangladesh's strong stance in international peacekeeping, climate change, global conflicts, Rohingya crisis, challenges faced by developing nations in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), preventing the illicit flow of resources, and safeguarding migrant rights.

The Nobel laureate is highly respected globally, and his remarks will carry weight on the international community. 

It is important to note that the interim government of Bangladesh has initiated reforms aimed at building a new Bangladesh and this UNGA session presents a great opportunity to showcase our inclusive, justice-oriented vision to the global community.
