Process of changes on following institutional reforms: CA
Chief Adviser (CA) Fakhruddin Ahmed yesterday said the process of changes is going on in Bangladesh following institutional reforms undertaken by the present caretaker government.
The head of the caretaker government made the remarks when Australian High Commissioner in Dhaka Douglas Foskett made a courtesy call on him at the CA's Office.
The high commissioner appreciated the leadership role of Fakhruddin in carrying out reforms and attaining landmark achievements by the interim government. He said it will eventually help establish a sound democracy in Bangladesh.
The envoy requested for signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Bangladesh and Australia to “fight against terrorism”.
He said Australia has signed agreement with 13 countries to combat terrorism.
Briefing newsmen after the meeting, CA's Press Secretary Syed Fahim Munaim said the chief adviser said that the government would look into the matter.
The CA told the Australian diplomat that Bangladesh's stand against terrorism is very clear--it “always condemns terrorism in its all forms and manifestations”.
Terrorism knows no borders, the CA said.
The high commissioner also told the CA that there is no melamine in Australian powdered milk as test was carried out in Australia. Responding to him, the CA said the government is waiting for results of sample tests of powdered milk.
The Australian deputy high commissioner in Dhaka, Secretary of CA's Office Kazi Aminul Islam and CA's Press Secretary Syed Fahim Munaim were also present.
