At the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, Bangladeshi Prime Minister Tarique Rahman delivered his inaugural address, outlining a vision for a democratic and reformed nation. He introduced the ‘3R’ strategy—Recovery, Restoration, and Reconstruction—aimed at repairing state institutions following the end of previous fascist rule. The Prime Minister emphasized that the government is implementing a 31-point national reform programme aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Addressing humanitarian concerns, Rahman highlighted the immense pressure caused by hosting over 1.2 million Rohingya refugees. He proposed five urgent measures to resolve the crisis, including establishing a credible roadmap for safe, voluntary, and dignified repatriation to Myanmar. He called for increased international cooperation to combat transboundary crimes such as human trafficking and the narco-economy.

On the bilateral front, Rahman met with Maldivian Vice President Hussain Mohamed Latheef to strengthen ties and discussed regional developments. He also met with UN refugee officials to advocate for sustainable solutions to displacement. Domestically, the Prime Minister noted that the government has prioritized women’s empowerment, education, and youth entrepreneurship, including a US$50 million allocation for innovators and a plan to increase education spending to 5 percent of GDP within five years.
