UN Chief Guterres Arrives Dhaka with Limited Schedule

 



Summary:

  • Guterres arrives in Dhaka Thursday for packed Friday-Saturday schedule
  • Visits Cox's Bazar Rohingya camps with Chief Adviser Yunus on Friday
  • Will receive briefings on disaster mitigation, infrastructure, and refugee support initiatives
  • Will join Iftar meal with refugees and Bangladeshi host community
  • UN premises tour, youth dialogue, and civil society meeting on Saturday

UN Secretary General António Guterres is set to arrive on a four-day visit to Bangladesh on Thursday afternoon to witness the Rohingya situation.

Guterres's visit, which is his second, is expected to strengthen international efforts to mobilize increased aid for the Rohingya people and reignite global attention on the Rohingya crisis.

During his visit, which comes as part of his Ramadan solidarity visit, Guterres and Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus will visit Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar and attend an iftar party with the presence of 1 lakh Rohingyas on Friday.

The Rohingya crisis has been overshadowed and lost focus due to numerous global crises, said Shafiqul Alam, Yunus's press secretary, at a press conference yesterday.
