Bangladesh to welcome only need-based help
Bangladesh will welcome only need-based supports from foreign nations as a number of countries, including India and the USA, have come forward to help Bangladesh in its fight against terrorism after the recent attacks on a Dhaka café and police at Sholakia, State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam told the news agency yesterday.
"We will take support based on needs only depending on the nature of crimes and will focus on information sharing," he said, adding that the blood samples of the Gulshan café attackers were sent to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for further analysis.
"So, the entire thing will be need-based one," mentioned Shahriar.
The state minister said the issue of cooperation with India in countering terrorism was also discussed during his recent visit to India.
The home minister-level meeting in New Delhi on Thursday is expected to be a landmark one on how the cooperation will be strengthened between Bangladesh and India to fight against terrorism effectively.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan will leave for New Delhi on Wednesday to join the meeting with his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh.
