Bangladesh calls for stronger global action to eradicate racism

Foreign Minister Dr. Khalilur Rahman has reaffirmed Bangladesh's steadfast commitment to combating racism in all its forms, emphasizing the country's signing of all relevant international conventions on racism and racial discrimination. 

He also called for strengthened global efforts to eliminate racism, promote equality, and uphold human dignity.

The foreign minister made the call while addressing a commemorative meeting of the United Nations General Assembly marking the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in New York on Monday, according to a message received here this morning.  

Highlighting ongoing racial injustices in Rakhine and Gaza, Dr. Rahman underscored that the global community is still far from realizing the goals of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action.
