The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sought an explanation from the United Nations over a report published by the UN Refugee Agency that contains factually incorrect information and wanted to know the basis of which the report was prepared.
Bangladesh expects that the UNHCR will come up with a corrected version of the report.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveyed the message containing its dissatisfaction to UN Resident Coordinator in Dhaka Gwen Lewis on Monday, according to sources at the MoFA.
