Acting ambassador of the European Union to Bangladesh Dr Bernd Spanier has said the EU will do its utmost to support the interim government in turning its vision into a reality.
"EU stands ready to help," he said after meeting the interim government’s chief adviser, Dr Muhammad Yunus, during a diplomatic briefing at a hotel in Dhaka on Sunday.
"Great privilege to see Prof Yunus today during a meeting with the diplomatic corps," the diplomat said in a brief message shared through X, previously known as Twitter.
In his address to ambassadors and high commissioners, Yunus said a new era has begun as the students impressed upon them their dream of a country where people, regardless of their political, religious or ethnic identity, will be able to fulfil their aspirations and enjoy full freedom of expression, with the government upholding democracy, justice and human rights and freedom of speech.
Meanwhile, Ambassador of Switzerland to Bangladesh Reto Renggli said he was delighted to briefly meet Prof Yunus at the diplomatic event.
During the event, Prof Yunus addressed the priorities, opportunities and challenges facing the interim government.
"We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Bangladesh in its quest for peace, prosperity and economic empowerment for all its citizens," said the ambassador.
