British Council temporarily closes offices in Bangladesh

British Council has temporarily closed its offices in Bangladesh in order to review its security procedures and hopes to reopen them once new security measures are in place, it announced yesterday.

Barbara Wickham, director of British Council Bangladesh said, “We recognise that people in Bangladesh are increasingly concerned about safety and security in public places. The safety and security of our staff and customers is always our top priority... During this temporary closure, our Customer Services will be responding to queries through email bd.enquiries@britishcouncil.org.”
