Bangladesh Supports Democracy, Concerned About US 2024 Election

Bangladesh Expresses its Concern

Bangladesh has expressed concern about the upcoming 2024 United States presidential election, saying that it is important for democracy to prevail.

The country's foreign minister, Dr. A.K. Abdul Momen, said in a statement that Bangladesh is "deeply concerned" about the potential for violence and unrest in the United States during the election.

He urged all parties to respect the democratic process and to refrain from any actions that could undermine the integrity of the election.

Concerns Over Political Polarization

Bangladesh's concerns about the 2024 US election stem from the country's own experience with political polarization and violence.

In recent years, Bangladesh has seen a rise in political violence, including attacks on opposition politicians and journalists.

The country is also deeply divided along political lines, with the ruling Awami League party and the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) often at odds.

Need for Peaceful and Fair Election

Bangladesh's foreign minister stressed the importance of a peaceful and fair election in the United States, saying that it is "essential for the stability of the region and the world."

He also called on the United States to take all necessary steps to ensure that the election is conducted in a free and fair manner.

The 2024 United States presidential election is scheduled to be held on November 5, 2024.
