The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, met with the Head of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, in the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
During the meeting, President Meloni expressed support for the ongoing democratic transition process and reform programme in Bangladesh, underscoring Italy’s intention to strengthen bilateral cooperation, particularly in the economic sphere.
The two leaders also had an in-depth exchange of views on migration issues, agreeing on the importance of intensifying efforts to fight irregular immigration and combat criminal human trafficking networks. In particular, they discussed ways to establish closer cooperation on returns and to support legal migration flows, for example through vocational training programmes in Bangladesh for workers specialised in sectors that are in demand from Italy’s productive system.
