Bangladesh’s new Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman announced that the country’s foreign policy will prioritize national interests under the motto “Bangladesh First.” Speaking to journalists after meeting visiting Nepalese Foreign Minister Bala Nand Sharma at the Padma State Guest House on Wednesday evening, he said the government would return to the foreign policy principles of late President Ziaur Rahman. He emphasized that Bangladesh’s diplomacy will be guided by sovereignty, mutual respect, non-interference, national dignity, and mutual benefit.
Rahman stated that the government led by Tarique Rahman intends to revive the foreign policy approach of the late president, recalling Ziaur Rahman’s initiatives such as Bangladesh’s election to the UN Security Council, the founding of SAARC, and his role in the Al Quds Committee. He said Bangladesh aims to reclaim its active role in regional and global peace efforts.
On the Rohingya issue, the minister said monitoring of Myanmar will be strengthened, with continued communication with Myanmar and the Arakan Army to seek a prompt resolution. He also urged the media to act responsibly to avoid misinformation that could harm diplomatic relations.
