During my recent visit to Dhaka, I had the honor of meeting Nobel Laureate and Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus. Our exchange reaffirmed my deep commitment to inclusive development, cultural cooperation, and principled leadership—values that lie at the heart of my vision for UNESCO […] I was particularly impressed by Bangladesh’s achievements in education, culture, and social equity. As I shared with Professor Yunus, “UNESCO sees Bangladesh not just as a member, but as a partner with real promise.”
