Bangladesh is waiting to see a permanent government in Afghanistan without hurriedly reaching a decision whether it will welcome the interim government or not, said State Minister for Foreign Affair M Shahriar Alam.
“We’re still observing the situation very closely. Our focus still remains on peace and stability fully free from any war,” he told reporters at his office on Wednesday.

The State Minister said they came to know about the formation of an interim government and they are not going to reach a decision on whether Bangladesh will welcome it or not. “We don’t want to do anything hurriedly.”
He said there are some ideological areas that Bangladesh will not be compromising and noted that they are not in a hurry but are closely observing the development.
The Taliban on Tuesday announced an all-male interim government for Afghanistan.
The State Minister thanked all concerned as some Bangladesh nationals have been able to return home.
He said still there are 10 Bangladesh nationals and seven of them are willing to stay back there as they are finding some sort of comfort there.
The State Minister laid emphasis on the safety of all nationals who are still staying in Afghanistan.
