Adviser Nahid Islam stated on Sunday that one of the main causes of the July Uprising was the Palestinian people's struggle for their rights.
"The people of Bangladesh have a particular place in their hearts for Palestine. On November 29, 2023, we began operations through the March for Palestine platform since our nation has always backed Palestine in its fight for independence," he stated.
The adviser made the remarks when Palestinian Ambassador to Bangladesh, Yusuf SY Ramadan, visited the office of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications on Sunday.
He said that Palestine is a point of national unity for Bangladesh.
At that time, Adviser Nahid emphasized that the country has always supported the oppressed and persecuted people of Palestine.
He said that Bangladesh consistently stands by Palestine’s rightful demands, adding that the people of Bangladesh remain firmly committed to Palestine's independence and sovereignty.
Addressing the adviser, Yusuf SY Ramadan said: "Your arrival comes at a time when the people of Bangladesh had almost given up hope. Everyone is looking toward you. The people of the country want to place their trust in you."
He expressed gratitude to the people of Bangladesh, saying that despite the geographical distance, Bangladesh is more vocal about the rights of the Palestinian people than many other Muslim countries.
Nahid Islam reaffirmed Bangladesh's unwavering support for the Palestinian state and its people. He expressed hope that Palestine would eventually achieve the independent state it longs for.
The Palestinian ambassador also said: "We sincerely wish success for the current interim government because if this government succeeds, the people of Palestine will be stronger. We want the interim government to succeed in fulfilling the dreams of its people."
