Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus today said Bangladesh now stands at a turning point to forge a new social contract in which the state and its people, especially its youth, co-create a future rooted in inclusion, tradition, justice, dignity, and opportunity.
“A social contract in which financial inclusion and the empowerment of marginalized communities become integral. We want to stand as a beacon of hope for the world and invite our friends and partners to rewrite inclusive social contracts and to explore the role of social business, financial inclusion, and microfinance in fostering sustainable development and economic opportunities for the marginalized,” Prof Yunus said in his keynote speech at Earthna Summit 2025 in Doha, Qatar.

The head of the interim government said, “Let us be bold. Let us build a world where no one is too poor to dream and no dream is too big to achieve.”
The challenges before us are significant. But so too is our capacity for innovation, compassion, and collective action, Prof Yunus said, adding that Qatar with its initiatives like the Earthna Summit is demonstrating how a nation can harness innovation, tradition, and partnership to address the climate crisis, social inequality, and the future of work.
