The United States has expressed concern at recent violence in different parts of the country and urged for a dialogue for resolving differences.
In a statement on Thursday, the US embassy said it is concerned by the recent violence that has taken place in Dhaka and other cities in the country.
“Our thoughts go out to those who have been injured or suffered damage to private property as a result of this violence,” said the statement.
“The ability to engage in peaceful protest is a fundamental democratic right; there is no justification for the resort to violence. We believe dialogue is the best means for resolving differences,” it adds.
