Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, now in New York, will address the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Friday.
The prime minister will deliver her speech for the 17th time at the UN general session.
Like previous years, she will deliver her address in Bangla following the footsteps of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who had addressed the UNGA first in Bangla in 1974.
In her address, the prime minister is expected to highlight Bangladesh's stance on climate change, Rohingya crisis, Ukraine war and other national and international issues.
The general debate of the 78th UNGA began on Tuesday with the theme “Rebuilding trust and reigniting global solidarity: Accelerating action on the 2030 agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals toward peace, prosperity, progress and sustainability for all.”
On September 17, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina arrived in New York to attend the UNGA.
