The government is in regular touch with Bangladeshis who remain stranded in Afghanistan and has taken every measure for their safe and orderly departure, the foreign ministry says.
The country has urged all concerned to ensure safety and security of the Afghan people as well as foreign nationals in Afghanistan.
Bangladesh is closely observing the situation in the war-torn country, according to the ministry press release issued on Sunday.
The government has so far facilitated the return of around 20 of stranded Bangladeshis.
Appreciating all concerned for facilitating the safe departure of foreigners, including Bangladesh nationals, Bangladesh expressed the continuation of the return process of the remaining foreign nationals.
Bangladesh calls for all concerned to exercise maximum restraint during this challenging time and hopes return of normalcy and restoration of peace in Afghanistan soon.
It is expected that the development workers can return to Afghanistan once the conducive environment is restored.
Bangladesh also expressed deepest condolences to the bereaved families who lost their near and dear ones and prayed for early recovery of the injured at the bomb attack near Kabul Airport on 26 August 2021.
