Dhaka, Dec. 8 -- Canadian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Ajit Singh on Monday said with elections coming up, ensuring that the digital space remains safe, inclusive, and open is more important than ever.

"It is a shared responsibility that demands local insight, local leadership, and local innovation," he said, noting that Bangladesh's next chapter will be written not only in its cities, towns, and institutions, but also in its digital public sphere.

Speaking at a programme, the High Commissioner said Bangladesh's digital space is growing fast. Such growth supports participation and transparency, but it also creates challenges, including misinformation, harassment, and weakened public trust.
