Bangladesh strongly condemns the recent act of desecrating the Holy Quran by a far-right activist in The Hague.

Bangladesh expresses grave concern over such heinous incident and rejects any act of insulting the sacred values and religious symbols of the Muslims - for that matter of all religions - all over the world under any circumstances.

Bangladesh urges all concerned to put an end to such unwarranted provocations and Islamophobia for the sake of harmony and peaceful coexistence, said a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday.
