During a recent phone conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, U.S. President Joe Biden expressed concerns about the safety of people in Bangladesh and the future of its democratic institutions, according to the White House. The two leaders reportedly discussed the situation in Bangladesh, with both sharing their apprehensions over recent developments in the country.

White House national security communications adviser John Kirby confirmed that President Biden had raised the issue during the call, highlighting his concerns about the safety and security of Bangladesh's citizens and the stability of its democratic framework. Kirby addressed this during a press briefing on Wednesday, emphasizing the importance of these issues to the U.S. administration.

Although the official White House statement following the August 26 call did not explicitly mention Bangladesh, both Prime Minister Modi’s post on X (formerly Twitter) and a statement from his office confirmed that the topic was discussed.

The Prime Minister’s Office stated that both leaders expressed their shared concerns about the situation in Bangladesh and underscored the need to restore law and order. The conversation also highlighted the importance of ensuring the safety and security of minorities in Bangladesh, particularly Hindus.

In his post, PM Modi noted, "We discussed the situation in Bangladesh and stressed the need for the early restoration of normalcy, as well as ensuring the safety and security of minorities, especially Hindus, in Bangladesh."
