Ready to work with Bangladesh interim govt: US

The United States on Wednesday (August 7) said it is ready to work with the interim government of Bangladesh as the country charts a democratic future for its people.

"We continue to monitor developments in Bangladesh, and we obviously have seen the appointment of Muhammad Yunus as the leader of an interim government," State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters at his daily news conference.

"We think the interim government will play a vital role in establishing long-term peace and political stability in Bangladesh," Miller said responding to questions on the fast-moving development in Bangladesh.
