PM to deliver in virtual UN session

A delegation of Bangladesh will participate in the session of the 75th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The 75th UNGA session started from September 15 at the UN headquarters in New York. The high-level debate session will be held from Tuesday (September 22).

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, like other global leaders, will attend the virtual 75th UNGA session due to the coronavirus epidemic.
