“TEMPORARY CRISIS”
The new administration has stressed it wants to put Bangladesh on a different path.
Its foreign minister Touhid Hossain told a briefing of more than 60 foreign diplomats late Monday it was “very serious about human rights”, and vowed not to “allow any violence or damages to occur”.
“All those committing such crimes will be investigated,” he said.
The unrest and political change have also shaken Bangladesh’s critical garment industry, which accounts for around 85 percent of its US$55 billion in annual exports, but he assured diplomats that foreign investments would be protected.
“This is a temporary crisis,” Touhid added. “Everything will come back in the right way, as competent people are in charge.”
