It also acknowledges her efforts in addressing climate change, women and children's affairs, and the blue economy. The group's other members include France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US. The prime minister will discuss the importance of enhancing resilience through integrated adaptation planning, emergency preparedness, and recovery during her speech. She will also hold a meeting with Trudeau on Sunday and return to Dhaka on Tuesday.
