PM to address UNGA general debate today

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will address the high-level General Debate of the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) today (Bangladesh Time).

Sheikh Hasina will deliver her speech in Bangla like the previous years following the footprint of her father and Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who addressed the UN in Bangla in 1974.

This will be the 18th time the Premier is going to address the UNGA session in Bangla.

The Prime Minister’s speech will dominate the issues of Rohingya, climate change and post Covid-19 economic recovery.

Sustainable development, food security and eliminating inequality will get prominence as other top priorities in her speech.

The Prime Minister attended the first day of the UNGA General Debate on September 21 which is scheduled to be end on September 27.
