The United States has expressed its support for indigenous communities and all people of Bangladesh.
"We stand in support of the indigenous communities and all Bangladeshis, recognising their rich cultural heritage and invaluable contributions to the nation's identity," US Embassy Charge d'Affaires Helen LaFave said today (23 September) after her meeting with the CHT Adviser Supradip Chakma.
Their rights must be respected and upheld, ensuring they are free from discrimination, marginalisation, and violence, she said.
She also stated that an inclusive and just society defends the voices and rights of its most vulnerable populations.
