Welcoming the interim government's announcement regarding the next national election, the United States (US) has said they would advocate for 'free and fair' elections in a peaceful manner, reports UNB.

"So we welcome steps that have been taken by this interim government of Bangladesh to prepare for elections that ultimately will allow the Bangladeshi people to choose their own government representatives," said Principal Deputy Spokesperson of the US State Department, Vedant Patel.

He made the remarks while responding to a question during a regular briefing at the State Department on December 18.

Patel said that the US is going to continue to monitor regarding the timing.
