Chief Adviser, UN chief to join iftar with one lakh Rohingyas 

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus and United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will join an Iftar party with about one lakh Rohingyas in Cox's Bazar on Friday.

Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam and Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder disclosed this at a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital on Wednesday (March 12).
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on a four-day visit to Bangladesh tomorrow (Thursday).

The interim government hopes that Antonio Guterres will deliver a message seeking early resolution to the Rohingya crisis.

Speaking at the press briefing about the UN chief’s visit to Rohingya camp, Shafiqul Alam said the UN chief’s visit is very important for Bangladesh.

He said Chief Adviser Prof Yunus has taken new efforts on how to bring the Rohingya issue into global map afresh and when global dignitaries meet him, he will highlight the long-pending issue.

“We firmly believe that after the visit of the UN chief, the issue will come in global discussion again and interest will grow among super powers and regional powers,” the press secretary said.
