At 5:40 today, a Turkish Airlines flight carrying the Prime Minister, his wife Dr. Zubaida Rahman and entourage landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

Later at the briefing, the press secretary said Prime Minister Tariq Rahman presented five-point demands on behalf of Bangladesh at the World Climate Conference. He said the COP31 conference, which began in Antalya, Turkey on 9 November, will continue until 20 November. Two important days of the conference were 11 and 12 November. During this time the Prime Minister delivered a speech.

Saleh Shibly said, our Prime Minister delivered a speech yesterday. You have already seen that he presented five-point demands on behalf of Bangladesh. Discussions are still ongoing, seminars are ongoing. Describing the Prime Minister's tour schedule, the press secretary said there were many bilateral meetings and multilateral meetings during this time. In addition, there were seminars and symposiums on various issues. Those are still ongoing.

Noting that detailed information on Bangladesh's demands at the conference will be provided, Saleh Shibly said, we hope more detailed matters will be informed through a press conference by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within the next one to two days.

The press secretary also spoke about the number of people accompanying the Prime Minister. He said only 21 people went on this Turkey visit. This is a positive aspect. Another aspect is that when the Prime Minister comes and goes, there were supposed to be thousands and hundreds of thousands of people coming and going here. But we have moved away from that.

The Prime Minister arrived in Antalya, Turkey on 10 November on a three-day visit to participate in COP31 and the Antalya Leaders Summit. Last Thursday he delivered a speech at the high-level session of COP31. In his speech, he highlighted five urgent steps to meet the needs of climate-vulnerable countries.
