Don't run reports that jeopardise Bangladesh-Italy ties: MoFA
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has requested the print and electronic media in Bangladesh not to publish any news that may impact the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Italy without due diligence.
MoFA said the fact is that the Italian Prime Minister never mentioned the word “virus bombs” indicating any community during his interview with the Spanish TV Channel.
The news was published in some newspapers in Bangladesh "wrongly quoting" the President of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister) of the Italian Republic.
The newspapers have misquoted Giuseppe Conte, Prime Minister of Italy, as saying that Bangladeshis are “virus bombs”.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasised that the Prime Minister of Italy never said any such thing about Bangladeshis.
While running any news that may have negative impact on bilateral relations, including on the Bangladeshi expatriate community, the media is urged to check the authenticity of the news.
The Foreign Ministry also requested the print and electronic media to create awareness among Bangladeshi diaspora all over the world, including the passengers departing from Bangladesh, for their sympathetic understanding of the local situations, and for adherence to the rules and regulations of the local government.
