SHEIKH HASINA, Prime Minister of Bangladesh, said the United Nations embodies her country¡¯s faith in multilateralism and thanked the Secretary?General for upholding the flag of that principle.  Paying tribute to all frontline United Nations staff and agencies, she noted Bangladesh has benefitted from development initiatives, while also contributing in ¡°our modest way¡± to upholding its mandates.  Bangladesh is a leading troop- and police?contributing nation, with 150 personnel having sacrificed their lives in conflict?stricken countries.  Turning to the COVID?19 pandemic, she noted its ravages show that developed and undeveloped nations alike rely on cooperation, and that multilateralism is the way forward.  The international community must not allow geopolitical rivalries to weaken the United Nations.
