Washington DC: Apna Punjab Media: US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said the United States is hopeful that the new interim government in Bangladesh will pave the way for a democratic future. Miller said the US is in talks with an interim government, including the swearing-in ceremony of Nobel laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus as the country’s chief adviser. Including getting involved. “Communications have been made with the interim government. Our chargé d’affaires attended their swearing-in ceremony today. I don’t know if she spoke to him at the inauguration, but she was involved in communications with the interim government, not necessarily personally,” Miller said at a press briefing. “One thing we have made clear is that we want the interim government to chart a democratic future for the people of Bangladesh,” he said. “Nobel laureate economist Mohammad Yunus was sworn in as the head of Bangladesh’s interim government on Thursday night, three days after Sheikh Hasina resigned as prime minister and left the country amid widespread unrest in Dhaka at a ceremony. Yunus’ main task now will be to restore peace in Bangladesh and prepare for new elections. Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin administered the oath of office to Yunus in the role of Chief Advisor, equivalent to the Prime Minister.
