US President Joe Biden has invited Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for a reception on September 19 on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
The prime minister will reach New York on Sunday to attend the 78th General Assembly, Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said on Thursday at a briefing ahead of the visit.
He said the prime minister would highlight the Rohingya issue, climate change, and global peace in her UNGA address on September 22.
On the sidelines, she will attend several high-level meetings and have bilateral discussions with different heads of state.
"There is a possibility to join President Biden's reception," he said, referring to Joe Biden’s reception and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s busy schedule.
"They (US) have invited us. We will finalize at the last minute. It's a long queue,” the foreign minister said.
“Rebuilding trust and reigniting global solidarity: Accelerating action on the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals towards peace, prosperity, progress and sustainability for all” is the theme of this year's UNGA.
