Yunus assures on Rohingya refugees, garment exports in Bangladesh

Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, recently appointed as head of the interim government in Bangladesh, outlined his priorities in front of diplomats and UN representatives. He emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting the Rohingya refugees sheltered in Bangladesh, urging the international community for continued humanitarian efforts and their safe repatriation to Myanmar.

Yunus also addressed the disruption to Bangladesh’s textile industry due to recent unrest and protests. He vowed to protect the global clothing supply chain, a key component of the country’s economy.

Highlighting the need for free and fair elections, Yunus expressed his commitment to conducting vital reforms in various institutions. He called for an impartial investigation into the recent civilian massacre and expressed support for a UN fact-finding mission in Bangladesh.

Yunus’s administration aims to restore national reconciliation and rebuild institutions that were allegedly undermined during the previous government’s tenure.
