Chief Adviser Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus returned home on Saturday from Switzerland after attending the World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual meeting in Davos.

A commercial flight of Emirates Airlines carrying the Chief Adviser and his small entourage landed at Hazrat Shahjalal Inter-national Airport at 5:06 pm. Dr Yunus departed Zurich International Airport at 9:50 pm (Swiss time) on Friday night, 24 January.

"Prof Yunus held 47 meetings with heads of states, had 10 meetings with CEOs/ high-level business persons, attended nine WEF-hosted programs, and four formal dinner and lunch events. Dr Yunus also had eight media engagements on the sidelines of the WEF annual meeting in addition to joining two other events," said Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam, adding that they are impressed with the latest economic numbers.

"Nobody seems to be bothered by the propaganda campaign by the Indian outlets. They are very much aware of the dirty jobs that Indian media does for their political masters," said the Press Secretary.
Top European leaders are firmly backing the interim government and its reform agenda to restore democracy, Alam said.

"One thing was quite clear that the biggest decision the students made just after the fall of Hasina was to persuade Prof Yunus to head the interim government. And that has made all the difference," Alam said.

Bangladesh's Davos mission concluded on a high note, said the Press Secretary, adding that the Chief Adviser and his small Davos team are back home "with their heads held high".

Dr Yunus, who reached Davos on 21 January, had four meetings with Heads of Government/State, four meetings with Minister-level dignitaries, and ten meetings with heads/top executives of UN or similar organisations, Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder said.
