Chief Adviser Yunus will depart for Rome, Italy, on Sunday to attend a major event of the World Food Forum (WFF).
A Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight carrying Yunus and his entourage will leave Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport around 11:30am, said Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam, reports BSS.
During his visit, 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 organizations.
The discussions will center around global issues such as food security, poverty alleviation, and sustainable development.
The WFF, a platform of the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), brings together policymakers, researchers, and entrepreneurs from around the world to exchange insights on the future of food systems.
This year’s WFF event will be held at the FAO Headquarters in Rome from 10 to 17 October.
Yunus’ visit is seen as a key indicator of Bangladesh’s active diplomatic engagement on the global stage.
He is expected to return on 15 October.
