European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen has informed Bangladesh Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus that "Bangladesh can count on Europe's support" in its reform efforts.

"We also remain your partner for steady growth and infrastructure development under the Global Gateway," she said at a bilateral discussion with Prof Yunus on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday.

"Let's get the most out of our €400 million Bangladesh Renewable Energy Facility," urged the European Commission president.
