Chief adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Sunday said that his post-election work would focus primarily on three areas - digital healthcare development, youth development and ‘Three Zero’ agenda.
He revealed it as Akie Abe, head of Foundation for Encouragement of Social Contribution, sought to know about the chief adviser’s plans and priorities for the period following the 13th national election at a meeting at the state guest house Jamuna in Dhaka.
Later, chief adviser’s deputy press secretary Mohammad Abul Kalam Azad Majumder briefed the media about the meeting at the Foreign Service Academy, saying that Akie Abe, also wife of late Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, is currently visiting Bangladesh leading a delegation over work of her foundation.
During the meeting, Yunus recalled his warm and sincere relationship he had shared with her husband Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated in 2022.
The chief adviser also informed Akie Abe that following the election on February 12, he is scheduled to visit Japan in the third week of March at the invitation of the Sasakawa Foundation.
During the visit, he will participate in a conference organised by the foundation, which conducts research on various issues, particularly ocean research.
Yunus said, during his visit, he will also discuss ways to enhance collaboration between Bangladesh and the foundation in these areas.
