“Our goal is clear: to create a democratic order where power is balanced, where no autocrat can ever return, where no elected leader can destroy democracy, and where those who are meant to protect the people can never again prey upon them.”

8. SOUNDBITE (Bangla) Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser, Bangladesh:
“The ongoing conflict in our neighbouring country, Myanmar, has created a situation of deep concern for the entire region. It threatens not only regional stability, but also the prospects for the safe return of the forcibly displaced Rohingya sheltered in Bangladesh. Eight years on, the Rohingya crisis continues without any solution in sight. Moreover, Bangladesh faces a slow, but a regular flow of the Rohingya seeking protection. Evidently, deprivation of rights and persecution of the Rohingya rooted in cultural identity-based politics continue in Rakhine.”

“Bangladesh expects that the upcoming high-level Conference on 30 September will galvanize global resolve and generate concrete international support for the Rohingya, with the top-most priority of diversified and additional funding. Parallelly, it must agree on a process with time-bound deliverables as part of a globally accepted roadmap towards seeking permanent solutions to the Rohingya crisis.”

Bangladesh Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus today (26 Sep) said the ongoing conflict in Myanmar “threatens not only regional stability, but also the prospects for the safe return of the forcibly displaced Rohingya sheltered in Bangladesh.”
Yunus, who was appointed as the transitional leader of the interim government in August 2024 amid the student led uprising in Bangladesh, told the General Assembly’s high-level debate that the goal of his government is “to create a democratic order where power is balanced, where no autocrat can ever return, where no elected leader can destroy democracy, and where those who are meant to protect the people can never again prey upon them.”
As the country prepares for national elections in February next year, Yunus said, “we remain steadfast in carrying forward reforms that place citizens at the centre. Our focus is unchanging: transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.”
On the situation in Myanmar, he said, “the Rohingya crisis continues without any solution in sight. Moreover, Bangladesh faces a slow, but a regular flow of the Rohingya seeking protection. Evidently, deprivation of rights and persecution of the Rohingya rooted in cultural identity-based politics continue in Rakhine.”
Yunus said, “Bangladesh expects that the upcoming high-level Conference on 30 September will galvanize global resolve and generate concrete international support for the Rohingya, with the top-most priority of diversified and additional funding. Parallelly, it must agree on a process with time-bound deliverables as part of a globally accepted roadmap towards seeking permanent solutions to the Rohingya crisis.”
Pursuant to General Assembly resolution A/RES/79/278, the President of the UN General Assembly will convene a High-level Conference on the Situation of Rohingya Muslims and Other Minorities in Myanmar on 30 September 2025 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
