President of the European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen has assured Bangladesh Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus that "Bangladesh can count on Europe's support" in its reform drive.

"We also remain your partner for steady growth and infrastructure development under Global Gateway," she said during a bilateral meeting with Prof Yunus on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday.

"Let’s make the best out of our €400 million Bangladesh Renewable Energy Facility," said the European Commission president.

The chief adviser also held bilateral talks with Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof on the sidelines of UNGA.

Meanwhile, International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim A A Khan KC called on Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at UN headquarters and discussed justice and accountability issues.
