Pakistan expresses solidarity with Bangladeshi people

The Government and the people of Pakistan has expressed solidarity with the people of Bangladesh and hoped for a peaceful and swift return to normalcy in the country after a deadly student protest that led to the end of the rule of Sheikh Hasina.

“We are confident that the resilient spirit and unity of the Bangladeshi people will lead them towards a harmonious future,” Islamabad said in a press statement on Wednesday amid the country’s volatile situation following the resignation of Sheikh Hasina from her post of prime minister.

The statement comes as an interim government is expected to be formed under the leadership of Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus after the student protest leaders asked him to take responsibility, the Foreign Office said.
