Bangladesh: Bangladesh wants constructive dialogue as UN rights chief arrives Sunday

DHAKA, 14 August 2022, (TON): Bangladesh will welcome UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet Sunday morning and looks forward to having a constructive dialogue with her for the promotion and protection of human rights.

A senior official told UNB “Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen will receive Bachelet at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport upon her arrival around 9am on a four-day visit.”

The government has strongly rejected what it says the visible politically motivated efforts of some corners to mislead the people by showcasing the visit of the UN high commissioner as an occasion to put undue pressure on the government.

The government said "the government of Bangladesh firmly believes that politicization of the human rights agenda never helps in promoting and protecting human rights of the people; and therefore, sincere dialogue and cooperation is the pathway.”
