The U.S. Embassy in Dhaka has released a statement in support of a just and inclusive society that defends the voices and rights of its most vulnerable populations.
“We stand in support of the indigenous communities and all Bangladeshis, recognizing their rich cultural heritage and invaluable contributions to the nation’s identity,” the embassy noted in a statement after a meeting between U.S. Embassy Charge d'Affaires Helen LaFave and CHT Adviser Supradip Chakma.
Their rights must be respected and upheld, ensuring they are free from discrimination, marginalization, and violence, the Embassy added.
