Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, who received the "King Charles III Harmony Award" at the St James Palace, has said it is a fantastic way to project what they stand for and it will inspire young people in Bangladesh "to create a country they dream of".
The award recognises Prof Yunus' "unique contribution to ensuring harmonious coexistence among people, nature and the environment, bringing about positive changes in the lives of the marginalised communities and building a peaceful, harmonious and sustainable world".
"It is a wonderful prize," the Chief Adviser said, thanking His Majesty for standing by Bangladesh during this pivotal period in the country's history.
"This is a recognition of the work we have done to uplift vulnerable communities and reflect the values His Majesty The King also champions," the Chief Adviser said while receiving the award.
The King Charles III Harmony Award is awarded to an individual to recognise long-term outstanding commitment to and support for His Majesty’s Harmony philosophy – which looks to prioritise sustainability and nature across all sectors.
Prof Yunus has spent his life promoting social business principles and encouraging sustainable, socially responsible projects, having a significant impact on poverty alleviation in Bangladesh and beyond, according to the King's Foundation.
Ahead of the Award Ceremony, King Charles welcomed the Chief Adviser for a private audience at the Buckingham Palace.
