Bangladesh on Saturday reaffirmed its commitment to a rule-based international order and collective global action, stressing dialogue and cooperation to address shared economic challenges.

“As a responsible neighbour and an active member of the United Nations and other international bodies, Bangladesh advocates for a rule-based international order and collective action in addressing global economic challenges,” Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain said.

He was speaking as chief guest at the inaugural session of the SAFA International Conference titled “Next Generation Profession: Converging Ethical AI and Sustainability Reporting” in Dhaka. “We support active engagement to promote dialogue, confidence-building and cooperative solutions to shared concerns,” Touhid said, adding that Bangladesh remains engaged with multilateral institutions to promote stability, trust and cooperation.

Highlighting the convergence of ethical artificial intelligence and sustainability reporting, the adviser said technological innovation is transforming professions worldwide, while global emphasis on transparency, accountability and responsible governance is growing. “For Bangladesh, integrating technology with sustainability is crucial to sustaining economic growth and strengthening global integration,” he said, stressing that professionals must be not only technically competent but also ethically grounded and socially responsible.
