Palestinian ambassador appreciates chief adviser’s speech 

Palestinian Ambassador Yousef Ramadan has appreciated the speech of Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus in the United Nations, saying it was timely and it shed a much-needed spotlight on the Palestinian issue.

The ambassador paid a courtesy call on the Chief Adviser of the interim government at the State Guest House Jamuna on Tuesday.

The chief adviser has reaffirmed Bangladesh's continued support for the State of Palestine and its people.
During the meeting, Prof Yunus hoped Palestine would get the desired independent statehood.

Issues of mutual interest, global support for the State of Palestine, the genocide in Gaza and the tension in the Middle East were discussed in the meeting.

While addressing the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Sept 27, 2024, Chief Adviser Prof Yunus urged the global leaders to enforce an immediate and complete ceasefire to protect the Palestinian people from brutalities along with holding accountable all those responsible for the crimes against humanity in Palestine.

He said the genocide in Gaza continues unabated despite global concerns and condemnation.
