Bangladesh's interim government criticized Transparency International Bangladesh for issuing statements based on unverified social media information rather than factual evidence. Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam defended the 62-member United Nations General Assembly delegation against claims that it exceeded 100 participants. The government emphasized that this year's team remains smaller and more focused than previous administrations under Sheikh Hasina. Security personnel comprise approximately one-third of the delegation due to credible threats from Awami League supporters.
Officials highlighted the strategic importance of strong international engagement during this transitional period. The delegation conducted numerous high-level bilateral meetings with world leaders over five days of diplomatic activities. Government representatives will also participate in the upcoming Rohingya Conference, demonstrating Bangladesh's continued humanitarian leadership. Political party leaders received invitations to join the mission, reflecting the administration's commitment to democratic transition processes.
