Drawing a parallel with Bangladesh, the BNP chief said the Japanese election carried an important lesson for all democracies, particularly as Bangladesh prepares for its own national polls. "When citizens are allowed to freely exercise their right to vote, the outcome strengthens the nation, regardless of political affiliation."
He said free, fair and peaceful elections empower citizens to shape their future and ensure the legitimacy of governance.
"I hope Prime Minister Takaichi's leadership will further deepen the long-standing friendship between Japan and Bangladesh, and contribute to peace, prosperity, and democratic values across Asia," Tarique said.
