Amid the ongoing war between two SAARC countries - Afghanistan and Pakistan- Bangladesh has decided not to make any public comments but stressed that such a war does not bring anything good. We are not saying anything in public, but we are trying to make our friends understand that such war is not good for anyone," he told reporters at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport upon his return from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia early Saturday. Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Humayun Kabir was also present at the media briefing. Pakistan then carried out airstrikes in Kabul and two other Afghan provinces early Friday, saying it targeted military installations. The foreign ministers of Bangladesh and Pakistan reaffirmed their commitment to deepening ties and agreed to work closely together to promote 'peace, stability, and shared prosperity' in the region, according to the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
