Pakistan said Wednesday it "stands in solidarity with the people of Bangladesh" after the prime minister fled the country following weeks of protest and civil unrest.
"We are confident that the resilient spirit and unity of the Bangladeshi people will lead them towards a harmonious future," said a statement from the foreign ministry of Pakistan, from which Bangladesh won independence in 1971.
