A two-day high-level political forum ministerial dialogue will begin tomorrow at the UN headquarters in New York aiming to shape up the post-2015 development agenda.
“The Bangladesh delegation will take part in different sessions of the forum meeting and intervene where it feels necessary to shape the new development agenda,” Foreign Secretary Md Shahidul Haque told the Dhaka Tribune yesterday before he left Dhaka for New York.
The foreign secretary will lead the delegation in the forum meeting.
The post-2015 development agenda is very important for Bangladesh as the Sustainable Development Goals will dictate the future policies of the country in several social sectors, including health, maternal health and education.
SDGs will replace Millennium Development Goals that will expire next year. Bangladesh in the last 14 years had achieved most of the eight major MDGs.
