‘UN chief told Hasina to find political way forward’

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called to find a political way forward between all the parties in Bangladesh during his conversation with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday.

"The Secretary-General, I think, expressed his opinion in the way we've been expressing it here, which is to call to find a political way forward between all the parties in Bangladesh," said the spokesperson for the UN Secretary General at a daily press briefing at UN Headquarters in New York yesterday.

He made the remarks when a questioner wanted to know what the UN chief had exactly told Hasina and her press secretary after city polls in Bangladesh.

"You know, we do not have a readout to share," he added.
