Bangladesh will participate in various events as the host country to Rohingya refugees and the country will raise the Rohingya issue urging the international community to unite and mount more pressure on Myanmar to resolve the crisis, he said.

This year's main theme of the general debate is, "Galvanizing multilateral efforts for poverty eradication, quality education, climate action and inclusion," Momen said.

Bangladeshi delegates led by Sheikh Hasina will raise other issues like climate change, poverty eradication, quality education, women empowerment during the general debate, the minister said.
