PM meets Guterres, discusses Ukraine war, in Doha

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday asked United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres to take a special initiative to stop the Russia-Ukraine war soon.

She made the call at a meeting with António Guterres at the bilateral meeting Room of Qatar National Convention Centre here in Doha.

The premier said the world’s people are suffering due to the war, particularly economic sanctions as the disturbance in the international commodity supply raised inflation.

“She has asked the UN Secretary-General to take a special initiative for stopping the war soon,” said Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen while briefing reporters after the meeting.

Sheikh Hasina said it will be good for all if the war can be stopped as soon as possible . “Those who make much profit because of the war should help the affected countries,” she said.
