Foreign affairs adviser Md Touhid Hossain left Dhaka for New York on Sunday morning to attend the United Nations high-level international conference on the 鈥楶eaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution鈥�.
The foreign adviser is scheduled to return on early Friday after attending the ministerial meeting, a senior official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told UNB.
France and Saudi Arabia will co-chair the high-level international conference to promote a lasting peace in the Middle East and the implementation of the two-state solution.
The conference will be held in July 28-30 in New York, under the auspices of the United Nations.
This ministerial high-level session brings together the outcomes of the thematic roundtables and working groups convened under the auspices of the high-level conference on the implementation of the two-state solution.
It provides a platform to consolidate key insights, highlight consensus across political, legal, economic, and humanitarian tracks, and articulate concrete next steps.
The session is both a culmination of months of coordinated diplomatic work and a launchpad for action, and laying the groundwork for sustained international engagement, accountability, and implementation in support of a just and lasting peace.
The aim of the conference is to contribute to the implementation of UN resolutions on the question of Palestine and the two-state solution in order to achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.
Initially scheduled for June, the conference was postponed due to the escalating violence in the Middle East at the time.
