Foreign minister AK Abdul Momen on Wednesday said that Bangladesh would raise Rohingya crisis, food and energy security and climate change as its priority issues in the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly beginning on September 19.

He said that prime minister Sheikh Hasina would deliver her speech at the UNGA on September 23 where she might focus on the challenges the developing countries had to face in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals amid high inflation and energy crisis due to Covid pandemic and ongoing conflicts across the globe.

‘Prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who will lead a Bangladesh delegation to the UNGA, will reach New York on September 20. She will join the high-level meeting of the UNGA Platform of Women Leaders on the day,’ Momen told a press briefing on the PM’s participation in the 77th Session of UNGA.

He said that Sheikh Hasina would also raise the issues related to food and energy crisis following the Russia-Ukraine war as the sanctions meant for one hurting others.
