The Daily Morning Voice Online Desk: Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen today said the government does not want any country to get involved in Bangladesh’s internal affairs. “We are a matured country. We are a sovereign country. We are an independent country,” he told reporters while responding to questions at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Asked whether his message is applicable to all countries, Momen said, “Yes, no matter who.”

The foreign minister’s attention was drawn to recent remarks made by both the US and Russian sides. Momen said other countries do not need to give prescriptions to Bangladesh on democracy and human rights as these are deeply rooted in Bangladesh’s DNA. He said the current government is committed to holding free, fair, transparent and inclusive elections under the independent Election Commission. The foreign minister said Bangladesh welcomes constructive suggestions from foreign friends.
