"In this changing world, the destinies of Asian countries are intertwined. We must chart a clear roadmap for a shared future and shared prosperity," he said while delivering his speech at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference.

"This is the shared future we in Asia must create together," he added.

Zhang Jun, secretary general of Boao Forum for Asia; Ban Ki-moon, former secretary- general of the United Nations and chairman of the Boao Forum for Asia; Ding Xuexiang, executive vice premiere of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, among others spoke at the session.

For more than seven years, Dr Yunus said, Bangladesh has been hosting over 1.2 million forcibly displaced Rohingyas who are Myanmar nationals.

"We continue to bear significant social, economic and environmental costs," he said, adding that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently visited the camps in solidarity.

While global efforts are drastically shrinking but continuing, Dr Yunus said, Asian leaders must come together to ensure their safe and dignified repatriation to their home country, Myanmar.

The protracted crisis in Myanmar threatens regional stability, he said.

In today's poly-crisis world, the chief adviser said wars and conflicts erode rights and disrupt economies.

The genocide in Gaza continues despite global condemnation, Dr Yunus said, noting that the crisis in Palestine is not just an Arab or Muslim concern, it is a humanitarian issue. "The continued tension in Ukraine is heavily tolling the global supply chain," he said.

Dr Yunus said Asia must create a sustainable financing mechanism. "We need reliable funds that address our challenges and meet our growing demands," he said.

The chief adviser said Asia remains one of the least integrated regions. "This weak integration stifles investment and trade. We must work to boost trade cooperation immediately."

He also said they must promote resource-efficient farming.

"Domestic production must be enhanced for food security. We need to reduce import reliance and achieve self-sufficiency," Dr Yunus said.
