Turkish First Lady Emine Erdoğan has offered to send a medical specialist team to Bangladesh to support coastal women affected by climate change. The proposal came during a meeting with Dr Zubaida Rahman, wife of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, on the sidelines of the COP31 climate summit in Antalya.
State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaed Islam briefed reporters on Tuesday night, stating the two discussed renewable energy, waste-to-energy generation, and expanding international markets for Bangladeshi jute products as eco-friendly alternatives to plastic.
The meeting also covered the Rohingya refugee crisis, recalling Erdoğan’s 2017 humanitarian visit to Cox’s Bazar. Dr Rahman invited the Turkish First Lady to visit Bangladesh again, which she accepted with keen interest.
