'UN looks forward to working with Rabab Fatima'

The UN office in Bangladesh has said the vast experience of Ambassador Rabab Fatima, newly appointed UN Under-Secretary-General, has made her voice more powerful for the vulnerable people, reports UNB.
"Her immense experience in leading highly climate-vulnerable countries, graduating from LDCs makes her a powerful voice for the vulnerable people. We look forward to working with her," the UN office in Bangladesh tweeted, congratulating Ambassador Fatima.
Earlier on June 9, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres announced the appointment of Rabab Fatima, Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations, as High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS).
The German Mission to the UN also tweeted, saying that Ambassador Fatima will be a leading advocate for the interests and perspectives of 91 states in the UN.
The high-level appointment of Ambassador Fatima to the UN is a testament to Bangladesh's deep and intense engagement in multilateral diplomacy and the recognition of true professionalism of Bangladeshi diplomats, Bangladesh says.
For the first time, a female diplomat from the Bangladesh Foreign Service has been appointed as a UN Under-Secretary-General.
With this appointment, Rabab Fatima becomes the highest-ranking official among the Bangladesh nationals who are currently working in the UN system.
