An Emirates flight (EK-586) carrying Guterres landed at Hazrat Shahjalal international Airport (HSIA) at around 4:26 pm.
Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain received the UN Secretary General at the HSIA when two tiny tots welcome Guterres with flower bouquets.
From the airport the UN chief proceeded to his place of residence at the Hotel InterContinental.
“Honorable UN Secretary General is visiting Bangladesh as part of his Ramadan solidarity visit,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mohammad Rafiqul Alam told reporters at the ministry earlier today.
