Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain is set to leave Dhaka tomorrow to attend the “High-Level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution” at the UN Headquarters in New York.
The two-day ministerial-level conference, scheduled for July 28-29, is being jointly hosted by France and Saudi Arabia in line with UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/79/81, adopted in December 2024.
Officials at the foreign ministry said Touhid is scheduled to depart Dhaka Sunday morning and return home on August 1.
A senior official at the ministry told BSS that Touhid is expected to reiterate Bangladesh’s unwavering support for the rights of the Palestinian people and the implementation of a viable two-state solution.
Bangladesh will reaffirm its commitment to international law, the UN Charter, and relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions, while advocating for a credible, time-bound roadmap for sustainable peace in the Middle East, the official added.
The high-level UN gathering is seen as a significant international effort to build consensus on Gaza governance, ensure unhindered humanitarian access, and advance global recognition of Palestinian statehood.
