IH News Desk

GLOBAL, March 13, 2025: UN Secretary General António Guterres arrived in Bangladesh Thursday for a four-day trip where he will visit Rohingya camps in Chattogram and participate in an Iftar with 100,000 refugees displaced from Myanmar. Guterres will attend a campaign for Rohingya children and listen to a presentation on nutrition and support for refugees.

He will also witness a cultural event at the Rohingya Cultural Center. Officials hope Guterres's visit will attract global attention to the Rohingya issue and help secure necessary financial assistance, particularly nutrition assistance.

The UN is set to host an international conference on the Rohingya issue in September next, co-sponsored by Finland and Malaysia, with hopes of a swift resolution of the crisis.

There has not been any report on the UN Secretary General’s possible interaction with leaders of political parties of Bangladesh which is yet to come out of the turmoil.
