The chief adviser of the interim government Dr. Yunus may meet Narendra Modi at the regional alliance BIMSTEC summit in November this year. There is a possibility of a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Muhammad Yunus.

On Tuesday (October 1) in a press conference on Bangladesh's participation in the UN session and contemporary issues, Foreign Affairs Adviser Md. Touhid Hossain.

The foreign adviser said, I had a meeting with the foreign minister of India in New York. Communication was not possible at the highest level. Because the Prime Minister of India left the day before our Chief Adviser arrived in New York. Not in the Commonwealth (Commonwealth Conference in Apia, capital of the island nation of Samoa, October 21-26). Because the Prime Minister of India will not go there. BIMSTEC conference next month. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to have a summit with Yunus.

Stating that India-Bangladesh has shown interest in maintaining good relations for mutual benefit, he said, there has been talk about starting the visa process soon. Talked about security with India. The security situation has improved.

Tauhid Hossain said six reform commissions have been formed and they have been given three months. This means they will give their recommendations in late December or early January. There is a need to discuss with some other stakeholders. Only then can the roadmap be fixed. The roadmap cannot be fixed before that.

When asked if the foreigners wanted to know when the election will be held, he said, we presented the issues with everyone in such a way that they did not have much to say. We have told them the context. This government did not want to come and did not come by itself.

The youth community wants certain things and they want a system where dictatorial governments cannot be established. They want reforms in other areas too. Their demands match our agenda. We explained the whole matter to them and informed them that after the elections we will move out of here, he added.

The adviser also said that we have spoken to various Bangladeshi groups and all have insisted that we should not rush.

Talking about the US visit, he said, this visit was very important, because everyone in the world community wanted to hear from Professor Yunus what is happening in Bangladesh and what are his plans. We have said this before in various mediums. But there is a difference between saying he appeared directly and sending messages through other channels.
