Chief Adviser Yunus to start for New York on Sept 22 to attend UNGA

Dr Muhammad Yunus, the chief advisor to the interim government, will depart for New York on September 22 on a short trip to attend the United Nations General Assembly, Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain told The Financial Express on Tuesday.

When asked if the Chief Advisor would be attending the United Nations General Assembly, he confirmed that the decision had been made for him to attend. 

Regarding potential bilateral meetings during the visit, he mentioned: "Those will happen once he's there. Some discussions are taking place. There will be some meetings, that much I can say. But I can't specify anything. It's not always the case that all heads of state attend. The format in New York will follow accordingly. He won't be going to Washington."
