They expressed grave concern over the significant reductions in funding, which are already severely impacting education and other essential programmes within the camps, said Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder.

The resident coordinator reaffirmed her unwavering solidarity with Bangladesh's reform and transition process, emphasising the UN's commitment to supporting the nation's path towards sustainable development and prosperity.

She commended the robust cooperation with the Interim Government, and both leaders engaged in comprehensive discussions on advancing development in Bangladesh.

They explored the extensive support the UN could provide to bolster the government's ambitious reform initiatives.

The resident coordinator also highlighted the critical measures undertaken to ensure a seamless transition for Bangladesh's graduation from the Least Developed Countries (LDC) category.
