Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday held a telephonic conversation with Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina to express grief over the deaths caused by the deadly COVID-19 in Bangladesh. “Prime Minister Imran Khan apprised [Sheikh Hasina] of his government’s measures to save lives and livelihoods. The Prime Minister also apprised his Bangladeshi counterpart about his Global Initiative on Debt Relief for developing countries,” said Radio Pakistan.
“Imran Khan extended commiserations on the material and human losses due to recent flooding in Bangladesh and prayed for early recovery of the people affected by the natural calamity,” read the statement further.
Along with a discussion about the steps taken to curtail the rapid spread of the disease in the region, the two leaders also discussed the issue of India-occupied Kashmir which is pushed under a brutal clampdown by Indian occupied forces since August last year.
