Assuring the safety and security of diplomats, the interim government sought the international community’s support as they embark on charting a new future for Bangladesh.

“We believe that all our friends and partners in the international community would continue to stand by the interim government and our people as we embark on charting a new future for Bangladesh,” Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain told diplomats in Dhaka during a briefing at state guesthouse Padma on August 12.

He said they can assure that the safety and security of the diplomatic and consular premises and persons will remain one of their core priorities.

“We also remain sensitized to the need to ensure protection of all foreign citizens residing in our territory,” Hossain said.

He said the government has taken quick and decisive measures to restore law and order and bring back normalcy.
