DAVOS, Jan 22, 2025 (BSS) - Finland President Alexander Stubb on Tuesday held 
a meeting with Bangladesh Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on the 
sidelines of the World Economic Forum in the Swiss city of Davos.

During the meeting, they discussed key global issues, including the 
inauguration of Donald Trump as the new US president, the Russia-Ukraine war, 
the increasing role of the Global South in geopolitical issues and the 
Rohingya crisis.

"We need a rules-based world," the Finnish president said.

Prof Yunus also briefed the Finnish president about the reform initiatives 
undertaken by the interim government. 

"I wish you all the best," Stubb said.

President Stubb also urged the countries in the "Global South" to take more 
proactive roles in major international affairs.

The Chief Adviser highlighted the mammoth banking sector looting and plundering 
committed by Sheikh Hasina's dictatorship. Some US$17 billion were robbed 
from the banks, he said.

Prof Yunus said his government would hold a major international meeting on 
the Rohingya crisis to firmly bring the plight of the refugees back into the 
global discussion.
