The 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) featured the participation of Principal Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, which — according to Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam — further reinforced Bangladesh’s responsible global role. On Friday (October 3), via a post on his verified Facebook account, Shafiqul Alam outlined the successes of the Principal Adviser’s UNGA trip. He added that in his UNGA speech, the Principal Adviser reasserted Bangladesh’s resolute dedication to democracy, transparency, and inclusive governance. Shafiqul Alam further noted that six political party representatives joined the Principal Adviser on the trip. At the UN, the Principal Adviser emphasized Bangladesh’s continued humanitarian assistance to over one million displaced persons residing in the country.
