UN Secretary General António Guterres is set to arrive on a four-day visit to Bangladesh on Thursday afternoon to witness the Rohingya situation.
Guterres's visit, which is his second, is expected to strengthen international efforts to mobilise increased aid for the Rohingya people and reignite global attention on the Rohingya crisis.
During his visit, which comes as part of his Ramadan solidarity visit, Guterres and Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus will visit Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar and attend an iftar party with the presence of 1 lakh Rohingyas on Friday.
The Rohingya crisis has been overshadowed and lost focus due to numerous global crises, said Shafiqul Alam, Yunus's press secretary, at a press conference yesterday.
