Dhaka\\\'s permanent UN envoy in difficulty

NEW YORK, Jan 2 (bdnews24.com): The recall of 12 members of the staff will affect the mission, says Bangladesh's Permanent Representative to the United Nations AK Abdul Momen.
The transfer of almost half the Bangladesh UN mission staff at a time when the country's role in the world body is increasing could pose a problem, said AK Momen.
"Rules have to be followed. But one must consider the impact of the decision to recall 12 officers, including the mission's deputy chief," he said.
Momen said this to the news agency on the New Year's Day while outlining the year's plan.
"Those who will come are likely to lack the experience of working at the UN. It will be some time before they become familiar with the job. How can the pace of work that has been attained be maintained?"
Those connected with the mission say none of the new appointees have any experience of UN work.
While speaking on the upcoming challenges, Momen pointed to the task of fixing the SDGs of post-2015 sustainable development.
