During his visit to Bangladesh, UN Secretary-General António Guterres underscored the “pivotal moment” the country is facing as it navigates a period of significant transition and reform. Mr. Guterres met with the Chief Adviser of the government, Muhammad Yunus in Dhaka, and other leaders. The Secretary-General’s visit, coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan, was an opportunity to express solidarity with both the Bangladeshi people and the Rohingya refugees who have found shelter in the country. Mr. Guterres visited the refugee camps in southern Cox’s Bazar, meeting with Rohingya refugees and participating in an Iftar meal with them and members of the host community in the evening. During his visit to the Rohingya refugee camps in southern Bangladesh, Mr. Guterres vowed to do everything in his power to prevent further hardship as drastic aid cuts threaten food supplies and other critical relief efforts. The UN Chief assures the people of Bangladesh that the United Nations stands ready to assist the country in fostering peace, national dialogue, trust and healing during this pivotal moment of political transition.
