Who is Khalilur Rahman, Bangladesh FM who beat Cyprus to UNGA presidency?

Bangladesh's Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman has been elected as the 81st president of the 193-member United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), defeating Cyprus's Ambassador Andreas Kakouris in a closely contested vote. He will assume office when the UNGA session opens in September. A career diplomat, Rahman joined Bangladesh's foreign service in 1979 and held senior UN positions, including spokesperson for Least Developed Countries and special adviser to UNCTAD. He became foreign minister in February after the Bangladesh Nationalist Party won the election, having previously served as national security adviser and high representative on the Rohingya issue.
