Dhaka, Mar 1 (V7N) – Prime Minister’s Foreign Affairs Advisor Humayun Kabir has said Bangladesh has no immediate reason to worry about energy supplies despite the ongoing instability in the Middle East following the recent US-Israel attacks on Iran.

He made the remarks while speaking to reporters after a meeting with Prime Minister Tarique Rahman at the Secretariat on Sunday.

The advisor emphasized that the government’s top priority remains the safety and assistance of Bangladeshi nationals in the Middle East. “Helping passengers waiting at airports is a priority. Following the Prime Minister’s instructions, I visited the airport with the Aviation Minister yesterday. We are coordinating properly so that our citizens at home and abroad do not face distress,” he said.

Responding to a question about possible impacts on Bangladesh—particularly regarding energy—Humayun Kabir said the country currently has sufficient reserves. “There will be no problem with the stock we have at the moment. Some fluctuations may occur from time to time, but we are well prepared. There is nothing to worry about,” he added.

He also called on the international community to resolve the Middle East crisis through diplomatic means to avoid further escalation.
