The Resident Coordinator commended the robust cooperation with the Interim Government, and both leaders engaged in comprehensive discussions on advancing development in Bangladesh.

They explored the extensive support the UN could provide to bolster the government's ambitious reform initiatives.

The Resident Coordinator also highlighted the critical measures undertaken to ensure a seamless transition for Bangladesh's graduation from the Least Developed Countries (LDC) category.
