Talking to diplomatic correspondents at his office, he said the diplomats in Dhaka have no reason to feel insecure in the wake of yesterday's bomb explosions. "The government is determined to ensure foolproof security to the diplomats," he added.

The foreign secretary said the government is ready to provide any sort of assistance for the diplomats in addition to the security arrangements already made for them.

Replying to a question, he said no diplomat has yet asked for extra security after the bomb blasts across the country.

Asked if the prime minister, who left for Beijing on a five-day official tour yesterday, will shorten her visit, Hemayetuddin said there is no such possibility.
