to the principles and objectives of United Nations.
“On this auspicious occasion of UN Day, on behalf of the people and the government of Bangladesh, I join the world community to reaffirm our strong and unwavering commitment to the principles and objectives of United Nations,” she said.
The premier said Bangladesh’s engagement with the United Nations is guided by the vision of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
“Bangabandhu in his maiden speech at the UNGA on 25 September 1974, made unequivocal commitment to uphold democracy, peace, human rights, justice and the rule of law nationally and globally,” she said.
The prime minister said Bangladesh is proud to be a major partner of the UN in its endeavor to maintain international peace and security.
“Bangladesh has been participating in UN peacekeeping operations, including the most perilous ones, across the globe for the last three decades,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina said, Bangladesh is one of the largest troop contributing countries and pioneer in women peacekeeping operations.
