Prof Yunus to Depart for NY on Sept 22 for UNGA Session
Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus is scheduled to depart for New York on September 22 for a brief visit to attend the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), according to Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain.
“He will stay for only five days,” Hossain informed reporters at the foreign ministry yesterday afternoon.
When asked about potential bilateral meetings during the visit, Hossain noted that arrangements will be made once the chief adviser arrives in New York. "Some discussions are ongoing, and meetings will take place, but I can’t provide specific details at this moment," he added.
On Monday, Hossain confirmed that the chief adviser would lead a small delegation to the UNGA. Only those with direct responsibilities at the UNGA will accompany him.
During the visit, the chief adviser is also expected to attend a reception celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bangladesh's relations with the United Nations, the foreign adviser mentioned.
