UN Concerned Over Bangadesh Violence

New York, Feb. 12 (NsNewsWire) — Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, has said the Secretary‑General is personally committed to the stability and positive development of Bangladesh.

“Bangladesh, as you know, is a critical partner of the United Nations in many areas. And obviously, I think, as we’ve said here a number of times, we are very much concerned about the violence and the loss of life that’s occurred in Bangladesh since the beginning of last year,” he said on Feb. 11 in a press briefing.

Secretary‑General in charge of [Political Affairs] Oscar Fernández-Taranco has been tasked by the Secretary‑General to liaise with the Government and he’s doing just that, he added.
