UN commends Bangladesh's contribution to peacekeeping missions

The United Nations (UN) has praised Bangladesh's contribution to different peacekeeping missions across the world.

The admiration came at a bilateral meeting between Bangladesh Foreign Secretary Md Jashim Uddin and UN assistant secretary-general for Middle East, Asia and the Pacific of Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Khaled Khiari at the UN headquarters in New York on Tuesday, a press release said today (9 October). 
 
During the meeting, Khiari recognized Bangladesh's leadership in extending cooperation to other countries, such as the Gambia and Peru in peacekeeping.
 
The foreign secretary briefed the assistant general secretary about the measures taken by the interim government in various fields and solicited the UN's support for Bangladesh in this important trajectory.
 
Both sides highlighted the longstanding partnership between Bangladesh and the UN in a wide range of areas.
 
They also discussed enhanced cooperation in the fields of human rights, development and rule of law.

At the meeting, the UN also expressed its keenness to continue its peace operations with Bangladesh, the release said.
 
Earlier, the foreign secretary delivered statements in the Second and First Committees of the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
 
In his address, Jashim expressed Dhaka's promise to maintain stronger partnership with the UN and the broader international community in realizing a peaceful, inclusive and resilient Bangladesh, in the spirit of the student-mass-led "July-August Revolution".

In the Second Committee, the foreign secretary highlighted the need to address the contemporary challenges, such as conflicts, financial crises, inflation, rising commodity prices, environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss, and promote measures to ensure growth and resilience in the world.
 
To safeguard present and future generations, he called for comprehensive reform of the global financial system, ensuring strong climate action and addressing illicit financial flows.
 
He also stressed equipping young people with quality education and digital skills for youth-driven solutions and maintaining peace as an essential foundation for resilience and sustainability.
 
In the First Committee, the foreign secretary called upon all states to work collectively for total elimination of nuclear weapons and to promote a culture of peace against a culture of war and violence.
