Member states unanimously adopted the Bangkok Declaration and the BIMSTEC Bangkok Vision, which aim to guide the organization toward sustainable development and economic integration. Yunus urged BIMSTEC to take a more proactive role in engaging Myanmar to stabilize Rakhine State, thereby creating conditions conducive to the repatriation of displaced Rohingya. Upon receiving the chairmanship from Thailand, Yunus emphasized the need for an inclusive and action-oriented BIMSTEC.
