Japan strongly hopes that through a peaceful and democratic political transition, Bangladesh will keep advancing on a path towards stable development, says the Japanese Embassy in Dhaka.
Under the “Strategic Partnership” enshrined between the two countries, Japan said they will continue its support for Bangladesh’s development and prosperity.
Japan also said they stand side by side with the transition process to be led by Chief Advisor Dr Muhammad Yunus of the interim government.
Dr Yunus has sworn in as the Chief Advisor to the interim government of Bangladesh as he took his oath on 8 August.
The interim government has been formed after Sheikh Hasina resigned as the Prime Minister and fled the country on August 5 following a month-long movement raised by the students. The movement was
launched with demand of reforms in the quota system in the government jobs. Later it turned into an-one-point demand of the resignation of the government.
