Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said Bangladesh will not sever its diplomatic ties with Pakistan.

“I never believe in snapping all sorts of relations with another country,” she said in response to a query regarding the recent unwarranted interference of Pakistan in the internal matters of Bangladesh.

The prime minister was addressing a press conference at her official residence Ganobahban arranged to inform the media about the outcomes of her recent three visits to Bulgaria, Japan and Saudi Arabia.

"Pakistan is telling what they want to say. But with this it becomes clear that these people (Razakars) never want Bangladesh, they are the agents of Pakistan, they were involved in the mass killing of Pakistani occupational forces…the role of Pakistan proves this… it becomes clearer to people," she said adding that the diplomatic relation is there and it will remain.
