In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday, Dhaka emphasized its firm belief that “diplomacy and dialogue are the only means to resolve any conflict,” and commended all stakeholders involved in facilitating the peace process to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The government voiced optimism that the talks would result in an immediate ceasefire, the restoration of humanitarian aid, and relief from the immense suffering endured by the people of Gaza.
“Bangladesh hopes that, by ending the ongoing war in Gaza, this diplomatic process would pave the way for the realization of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine,” the statement read.
Reaffirming its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people, Bangladesh reiterated its support for a two-state solution based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.
