US Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights Uzra Zeya today said she has witnessed Dhaka’s strong commitment to hold free, fair and peaceful elections while Washington doesn’t have involvement in dialogues among political parties in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

“I’ve heard a strong commitment from the (Bangladesh’s) honorable Prime Minister and all of the government ministers with whom I’ve had the pleasure to meet today in support of free and fair and peaceful elections,” she told reporters after holding a meeting with foreign secretary Masud Bin Momen at State Guest House Padma in the capital.<\/p>\n

The Under Secretary said the US, as part of its global human rights policy, supports free, fair and peaceful elections and “We want to do our part as a longtime partner of Bangladesh to help make this possible”.<\/p>\n
