Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus left Dhaka for Rome, Italy, to participate in the flagship event of the World Food Forum (WFF).
A Bangladesh Biman Airlines flight carrying Yunus and his delegation departed Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) at around 11:30am, as confirmed by the Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam, reports BSS.
During the event, Yunus is scheduled to deliver a speech as an invited guest at the main session of the WFF.
He will also meet with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and leaders of various international organisations. Discussions will center on pressing global issues such as food security, poverty alleviation, and sustainable development.
The WFF, organised by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, serves as a key platform for policymakers, researchers, and entrepreneurs worldwide to share insights on the future of food systems. This year’s event is taking place at the FAO Headquarters in Rome from 10 to 17 October.
Yunus’s visit is seen as a significant demonstration of Bangladesh’s proactive diplomatic engagement on the international stage. He is scheduled to return to Bangladesh on 15 October.
