DHAKA, Oct 09, 2020 (BSS) – Agriculture Minister Dr M Abdur
Razzaque today congratulated the United Nations World Food Programme

award-winning organization will be encouraged to intensify its
initiatives, especially when food security is at extreme risk in many
countries around the world due to the coronavirus pandemic, he added.

The prize will also strengthen the message of working together on
food security, he added.

the Nobel Peace Prize to the WFP.
