United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Saturday reiterated that the UN will continue to provide support to Bangladesh over Rohingya issue.

He made the assurance while speaking at a function at the UN new building at Gulshan in the capital on Saturday, reports BSS.

Guterres recalled the contribution of Bangladeshi peacekeepers to the UN peace missions, saying that they are playing an important role in this regard.

He also discussed the reform initiatives by the Bangladesh interim government.
