Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam has described the egg attack on NCP Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain in New York as “unfortunate,” adding that Bangladesh’s Consulate and Foreign Ministry will look into the matter.

He highlighted Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus’s engagements in New York, including his speech at an IMF meeting on social business and receiving the prestigious SDG Award. Yunus also held discussions with U.S. officials, including Ambassador to India and Special Envoy for South and Central Asia Sergio Gore, where topics ranged from reviving SAARC, strengthening ties with Nepal and Bhutan, ASEAN membership, and expanding U.S.-Bangladesh trade relations.

Alam noted that Gore, a close associate of President Trump, will directly convey these issues to him.
