Bangladesh has done the right thing by abstaining from voting in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Crimea issue as it has not deviated from its foreign policy, State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam clarified on Tuesday. “Being a G77 member-country and being a member of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), we don’t take specific side on any country’s internal issue. We haven’t deviated from that policy. That’s why we abstained from voting,” he told reporters at the Foreign Ministry, according to a news agency.
