Bangladesh has reaffirmed its steadfast support for the Syrian people and their choices during this critical time, urging all parties to maintain calm and peace throughout the country.

Bangladesh also urged all stakeholders, including Syria's transitional government, to exercise restraint, respect the aspirations of Syrians and pursue a peaceful resolution through dialogue.

"The government of Bangladesh is closely monitoring the recent evolving developments in Syria," said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on Sunday.

Bangladesh reiterated its principal position on territorial integrity and sovereignty in Syria.

In this context, Bangladesh unequivocally condemned the illegal act of aggression by Israel during this moment of critical transition.

Bangladesh believes that the recent development presents a critical opportunity for the Syrian people to rebuild their nation on the principles of inclusivity, democracy and respect for human rights.

Bangladesh called upon the international community, particularly the United Nations, to intensify efforts to protect civilian lives, uphold humanitarian principles, and foster an inclusive political solution consistent with UNSC Resolution 2254.

"It is imperative that all external actions respect Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity," the ministry said.

Bangladesh also urged all parties to engage in efforts toward the country’s nation-building, reflecting the will of the Syrian people.

Ensuring a path toward inclusive democracy and sustainable peace remains essential for long-term stability in the region, Dhaka said.
