Canada is ready to extend all possible support for building a strong judicial branch in Bangladesh.

Canadian Ambassador Ajit Singh said this while paying a courtesy call to Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed on Thursday.

Ajit lauded the recent initiatives undertaken by the chief justice for ensuring autonomy for the judiciary.

He hoped the latter’s role would play a crucial role in establishing good governance and ensuring justice in the country.

Syed Refaat Ahmed, for his part, pledged to provide all possible support for enhancing ties between the judicial branches of the two countries.

He also claimed that the present Bangladesh judicial branch is committed to do its utmost for safeguarding human rights.
