State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam told the US Thursday that ambassadors "need to understand the political history of Bangladesh" before making any public statement.

He had a telephone call with US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman in the evening.

The deputy secretary and state minister discussed mutual priorities in bilateral relations.

Shahriar and Sherman also talked about the issues of mutual commitment to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961.

The state minister said Bangladesh is fully committed to ensuring the security and safety of the diplomatic community in Bangladesh.

The ambassadors would continue to receive adequate security details, as always, he added.

Sherman mentioned her several visits to Bangladesh and congratulated Shahriar on Bangladesh's victory at the recent United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) election and expressed satisfaction over supporting each other at the international forum.

This telephone call with the state minister was scheduled for December 12 but was later rescheduled.
