Dhaka: Bangladesh’s foreign secretary Md. Jashim Uddin has described the recent meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus on the sidelines of the BIMSTEC meet in Bangkok as an important step forward.

During his meeting with Yunus in Bangkok, PM Modi had underlined India’s concerns related to the safety and security of minorities in Bangladesh, including Hindus, and expressed his expectation that the Bangladesh government would ensure their security, including by thoroughly investigating the cases of atrocities committed against them.

“The government of Bangladesh is committed to ensuring the safety and security of every citizen, regardless of their creed, colour, religion, or ethnicity. The country does not tolerate any form of violence or intimidation against any of its citizens. We are fully aware of our responsibilities in this regard.” (IANS)
