The EU welcomes the swearing-in of the members of Bangladesh's interim government, led by Nobel
Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, as they took their oath, according to statement.
“Bangladesh is now entering a period of transition and the interim government will have an important
task to prepare the ground for democratic elections and ensure accountability for the deaths and
violence that have occurred. This is an important moment for the country’s democratic path and the
fulfilment of the aspirations of the people of Bangladesh and its youth.” The EU said.
“The EU looks forward to engaging with the new administration and to supporting this critical transition
which should be part of a peaceful and inclusive process underpinned by good governance, democratic
values and respect for human rights.” The statement added.
