Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain left Dhaka for New York on Sunday morning to attend a United Nations high-level international conference on the ‘Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution,’ according to a press release.
The conference, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, will take place from July 28 to 30 under the auspices of the United Nations. It aims to promote lasting peace in the Middle East by advancing the implementation of the two-state solution.
The ministerial-level session will bring together the outcomes of thematic roundtables and working groups held earlier as part of the broader high-level dialogue. It is expected to consolidate key insights across political, legal, economic and humanitarian fronts, while outlining concrete next steps to ensure accountability and sustained international engagement.
The conference is intended to contribute to the implementation of relevant UN resolutions on Palestine and support efforts for a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.
Initially scheduled for June, the event was postponed due to heightened violence in the region. Touhid Hossain is scheduled to return early Friday after attending the ministerial meeting.
