Joe Biden’s Concerns About Safety in Bangladesh with PM Modi Expressed

Joe Biden expressed his concerns about the safety of people in Bangladesh during a call with PM Modi. White House national security communications adviser John Kirby mentioned that President Biden and PM Modi “shared concerns” on recent developments in Bangladesh during a press conference. Kirby stated that the president emphasized his continued concerns about the safety and security of the people in Bangladesh and the future of their democratic institutions.

After the August 26 call, the White House issued a statement that did not mention Bangladesh. However, PM Modi’s post and a statement from his office confirmed that Bangladesh was indeed discussed during the conversation. The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) stated that the two leaders expressed their shared concern over the situation in Bangladesh and emphasized the restoration of law and order, as well as ensuring the safety and security of minorities, particularly Hindus, in Bangladesh.

PM Modi’s post on X also highlighted the discussion of the situation in Bangladesh, stressing the need for early restoration of normalcy and ensuring the safety and security of minorities, especially Hindus, in Bangladesh.
