Canadian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Ajit Singh on Monday met Bangladesh National Party (BNP) Chairman Tarique Rahman and BNP leadership where they discussed progress towards a ‘peaceful and inclusive’ democratic transition through the upcoming elections in Bangladesh.
High Commissioner Singh underscored Canada’s desire to work with the interim government, and the next elected government of Bangladesh, to build on the momentum created by economic, financial, judicial, and labour reforms, to deepen bilateral relations and create a better future for people in both countries.
Canada has been a longstanding advocate for ‘free, fair, inclusive, and participatory’ elections in Bangladesh, said the High Commission.
