Bangladesh: Ukraine war, Bangladesh’s position fairly balanced

DHAKA, 09 March 2022, (TON): Former Foreign Secretary Shahidul Haque said “Bangladesh's position on the Russia-Ukraine issue was neutral and fairly balanced but it might require a review in the coming days.”

He said "neutrality may not always be the preferred path.”

Bangladesh is still watching how the war evolves and has apparently taken an interim position.

"In every aspect we'll feel the impact whatever position we take."

The former foreign secretary was addressing a seminar titled "Russia-Ukraine War: Whose Profits and Whose Losses?" organised by the Centre for Peace Studies of the South Asian Institute of Policy and Governance at North South University.

Haque said the global military complex will be the most beneficiary of the Russia-Ukraine war while everyone will be affected more or less, including the loss of lives.
