Bangladesh’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Khalilur Rahman, warned of potential reductions in development funding due to the ongoing global energy crisis. Rising import costs, driven by the crisis, are already straining ongoing development projects. Dr. Rahman, who also presided over the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, expressed concern that funding availability could decrease further in the coming days. He made these remarks at a conference co-hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) in Dhaka on Saturday. The conference addressed the challenges posed by the economic pressures and explored potential solutions. The Minister highlighted the need for careful financial planning and resource management in light of the evolving global economic landscape. Further details regarding specific project impacts were not immediately available.
