Prof Yunus to deliver address at Al-Azhar University Thursday

Chief Adviser of the interim government Professor Muhammad Yunus is scheduled to deliver a speech at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, on Thursday (December 19).

Chief adviser’s Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder yesterday said, “The chief adviser is scheduled to deliver an address at Al-Azhar University on December 19.”

When Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Al Sharif Ahmed Eltayeb called on Prof Yunus at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in the Azerbaijan capital Baku on November 12, 2024, he invited the Bangladesh chief adviser to deliver an address at Al-Azhar University.

Prof Yunus left here on Tuesday night for Egypt on a two-day state visit to attend D-8 Summit scheduled to be held on December 19.

On the sidelines of the D-8 meeting, the chief adviser is likely to hold bilateral meetings with the heads of the government of some D-8 member states, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
