The UN chief visited the new UN Common Premises to view the 50th anniversary photo exhibition and joined the official UN flag-raising.
The visit followed a meeting with UN Country Team Bangladesh.
In Cox's Bazar Rohingya camp on Friday, Guterres said they cannot accept that the international community forgets about the Rohingyas and his voice will speak loud to the international community saying we need urgently, more support because this population badly needs that support to be able to live in dignity here in Bangladesh.
