Moscow lauds Dhaka's commitment to friendly ties with it

Moscow has appreciated Dhaka's consistency in the international arena and commitment to friendly relations with it.

Adherence to the principle "friendship to all, malice to none" and resistance to the "enormous external pressure" over the past two months in connection with the Ukrainian crisis, have proved the status of Bangladesh as an independently thinking state with a strong national agenda, said the Russian Embassy in a Facebook post Monday, reports UNB.

The post referred to Russian Ambassador to Bangladesh Alexander Mantytskiy who recently spoke at a conference in Moscow State Institute of International Relations on "Russia-Bangladesh: 50 years of diplomatic relations."
