<p>Our assessment is that the rise in extremist attacks has increased pressure on
religious minorities, including Hindus, in Bangladesh.</p><p>The former Prime Minister,
my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), most recently talked to the
Prime Minister of Bangladesh about the importance of countering extremism in the margins
of the G7 meeting in Japan on 27 May. The former Minister of State for Foreign and
Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for East Devon (Mr Swire), raised
