Killing of a peacekeeper

It saddened me to know from newspaper reports that a Bangladeshi peacekeeper was killed in Mali on May 26 as armed men opened fire on a UN vehicle. The deceased soldier of the Bangladesh army was Nilkantha Hajong. Our army, as a part of UN mission, has been serving in different African war-ravaged countries to maintain peace in those regions. We deeply condemn this killing.
