assumption as the chief adviser to the interim government of Bangladesh.
"Allow me to extend my sincere congratulations to you on your appointment as Chief Adviser to the
Interim Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh," he wrote in a letter to Prof Yunus.

have the important task of preparing the ground for democratic elections and ensuring that a return to
calm and national reconciliation can be achieved.
"As such, I welcome the messages you have already sent in this regard," he said.

support of France," the letter read.
The France President said he particularly hopes that their joint work aiming at continuously
strengthening the bilateral relationship can continue, on essential subjects such as respect for human
rights and minorities, adaptation to climate change, and the fight against poverty.
"We rejoice working with you and your teams and I wish you every success in meeting the
challengeawaiting you," he said.
