United Nations Resident Coordinator here Gwyn Lewis today praised Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus for his “highly successful” visit to New York during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as she paid a farewell call on him at the State Guest House Jamuna.<\/p>\n
“During the meeting, Lewis commended the Chief Adviser for his highly successful mission to New York during High-Level Week when the professor joined the 80th session of the UN General Assembly last month, held bilateral meetings with more than a dozen world leaders and spoke at the landmark UN conference on the Rohingya crisis,” said a press release of the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing.<\/p>\n
Lewis highlighted the powerful demonstration of national unity reflected in the diverse composition of the Bangladesh delegation, as it for the first time included six leaders of major political parties.<\/p>\n
The meeting also emphasised the importance of sustained collaboration, innovation, and inclusive growth as Bangladesh prepares for its upcoming national elections in February next year and enters a new chapter in its development journey.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on her tenure, Lewis shared, “Serving the people of Bangladesh over the past three and a half years has been one of the greatest honours and privileges of my career.”<\/p>\n
