UNDP has expressed willingness to provide full cooperation for Bangladesh’s overall reform process, including legal and judicial reforms and constitutional amendments, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed said after a courtesy meeting with UNDP Resident Representative Stephen Rodrick at the Home Ministry in the Secretariat on Tuesday.

According to a ministry release, the meeting discussed constitutional reform, assistance for Rohingya refugees, strengthening police capacity, institutional and technological support against rumours and misinformation, the proposed National Human Rights Commission Act, and a law on preventing and remedying enforced disappearances. Rodrick said UNDP wanted to support the government’s goals, priorities and work plan, including assistance for the constitutional amendment process.

The minister praised UNDP’s continuing support for Bangladesh’s socioeconomic development and called for expanded cooperation. He said the government seeks appropriate upgrading and modernization of existing Rohingya camp infrastructure but does not want new construction there. He also said draft laws on the National Human Rights Commission 2026 and Prevention and Remedy of Enforced Disappearance 2026 had received cabinet approvals at different stages.
