Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain announced today that Chief Adviser professor Dr Muhammad Yunus will travel to New York on September 22 for a brief visit to attend the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

"He will stay there only for five days," he told reporters at the foreign ministry this afternoon.

When asked about chief adviser's potential bilateral meetings during the trip, Hossain said that those will be arranged once when he will be in New York.

"Some discussions are ongoing, and there will be meetings, but I can't specify the detailed at this point," he said.

On Monday, Hossian said that the Chief Adviser would lead a small delegation to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

Only functional persons those with direct responsibilities at the UNGA will accompany the Chief Adviser, he said.

According to the foreign adviser, the top adviser will also attend a reception commemorating Bangladesh's 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations with the United Nations.
