The State Minister for Foreign Affairs said that Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will go to the United States on September 21 to participate in the United Nations General Assembly session. During the visit, he will hold sideline meetings with leaders of various countries. Various international and bilateral issues, including the Rohingya crisis, will be discussed in these meetings.

Regarding Saima Wazed Putul’s job at the World Health Organization, the State Minister for Foreign Affairs said, “The appointment of Hasina’s daughter Putul was flawed. This is shameful for the United Nations.”
