Dhaka watching Venezuela situation with growing concern

Bangladesh on Monday joined the leaders around the world and 'noted with concern' the recent developments in Venezuela and reaffirmed its commitment to the principles of the UN Charter and international law.

"Bangladesh notes with concern the recent developments in Venezuela," said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a press release.

Bangladesh said it believes that 'diplomacy and dialogue' should prevail to solve all disputes between countries.

Bangladesh also reaffirmed steadfast commitment to the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and international law.

The world leaders have responded with a mix of condemnation and support to the US capture of Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro.

Following a large-scale strike on Venezuela on Saturday, Maduro and his wife were captured by US forces and removed from the country. The pair has been indicted on drug charges in New York.
