Dhaka disappointed at US’ withdrawal from Paris deal

Bangladesh is disappointed at the United States' decision of withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali said today.

“It would be unfortunate to lose a leading partner like the US in the journey to secure a green and safe planet for us and our future generations,” he said in a statement.

Bangladesh, being one of the most climate vulnerable countries with a current population of 160 million, remains committed to the Paris Climate Agreement, he said.

Bangladesh would continue its efforts with all friends and partners around the globe to mobilise domestic and international resources to address the grave threats posed by climate change, he added.
