Acting Ambassador of the European Union Dr Bernd Spanier has said the European Union 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 interim government Chief Adviser Professor 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, Professor 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 fulfill 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 today.

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.
