Foreign minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said on Thursday (Jan.30) he hoped that the foreign diplomats here will follow the ‘code of conduct’, saying some overseas missions do interfere in Bangladesh’s domestic affairs.
It’s sad some foreign missions here are interfering in our domestic issues … it’s not right as they interfere in domestic issues beyond their own duties, he told journalists after attending the closing session of the ‘Bangladesh Development Forum-2020’ held at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital.
The minister talked on the issue as it was reported that some foreign diplomats held a meeting at the British High Commissioner’s residence here ahead of the Dhaka city mayoral polls.
The diplomats should have their sense of responsibility. We expect that they’ll follow their sense of responsibility, Momen said.
The foreign minister said they may tell the diplomats to return to their respective countries if they violate the code of conduct.
