CA’s UN Speech: A Blend of Reality and Philosophy
Chief Adviser Muhammad Muhammad Yunus has addressed the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in his mother tongue, Bangla.
In his speech, he reiterated his previous announcement of holding national elections in February.
He informed world leaders about the ongoing citizen-friendly reform programs in the country.
These reforms, he added are to ensure transparency, accountability and the rule of law.
The Chief Adviser also spoke on various national and international issues including the Rohingya crisis, regional politics, and the Palestine issue.
If any country in the world is in crisis, the entire world is at risk of security, he reminded.
He spoke with optimism that the young society will succeed in reducing the three crises of carbon, wealth concentration, and unemployment to zero and will build a new world based on this.
On the one hand, he spoke about reality, on the other; he impressed the world leadership with his philosophy.
At the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, heads of government and state from all over the world received new ideas and new directions from his words. We as a nation can be proud of this speech.
The commitment he has expressed for the progress of Bangladesh is indicative of his patriotism.
We are reassured on the one hand by his commitment to national elections to hand over power to an elected government, on the other; we felt the urge to make the elections acceptable and fruitful.
In fact, now it is necessary for all stakeholders to come forward with sincerity to hold the elections on time. Political parties must demonstrate responsibility to advance the reform process.
In line with the Chief Advisor’s statement, we would also like to say that our goal was to build a democratic state structure based on balanced power.
The path to achieving this goal has been paved since the end of the oppressive dictatorship on August 5, 2024. We must not miss this opportunity.
We must always be vigilant, lest any evil force stand on the way of our progress. Unity among political parties is essential to prevent evil forces.
Political parties must remember that the issue of national unity needs to be seriously considered during any malicious activity against the country’s independence, sovereignty, and democracy.
There will be competition between political parties, but it should not give rise to hostility that could give an opportunity to evil forces.
The August 5 Uprising will not happen every year. Therefore, the spirit of the uprising must be consolidated. The country must move forward through this solidarity.
