Dhaka: Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs Kristian Jensen has condemned the terror attack in Bangladesh.

‘I strongly condemn the terror attack on innocent civilians that took place at a restaurant in Dhaka Friday night, where terrorists killed 20 people,’ Jensen said in a statement on Sunday.

The minister said such meaningless violence is completely unacceptable and must be fought.

‘Our strongest response is to stay united and not let our democracy, liberty and way of life fall into fear and despair.’

‘I express my deepest compassion for the victims and their bereaved [family members]. They are in my thoughts,’ said the Danish minster.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy in Dhaka are in close contact with the Bangladeshi authorities and they are monitoring the situation closely.

‘It is reported from official site that there are no Danes among the killed and wounded.’
