Chief adviser’s press secretary Shafiqul Alam said on Sunday that the entire reform initiative is a "homegrown" process and will remain so, noting that Bangladesh's friendly partners and well-wishers support the reform agenda.
"The reform process is fully homegrown. We are maintaining the highest transparency," he told reporters at the Foreign Service Academy while responding to a question.
Earlier, the electoral reform commission, police reform commission, judiciary reform commission, anti-corruption commission reform commission, public administration reform commission, and constitutional reform commission submitted their reports, and a national consensus-building commission was formed.
Press secretary Alam said the consensus-building commission held its first meeting and more meetings will follow in the coming days. He added that there will be intensive consultations between political parties and the consensus-building commission.
"You see, the whole process is homegrown," Alam said, adding that in some areas, technical support may be required. "We have not decided yet whether we will accept technical support, but it is fully homegrown reform involving our people and experts."
The press secretary emphasized that the interim government remains transparent and committed to openness, ensuring that the entire process remains homegrown.
As the country undergoes important reforms and transitions, UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres assured that the UN stands ready to assist in fostering peace, national dialogue, trust, and healing. "You can count on the UN to be your steadfast partner, working alongside the people of Bangladesh to help build a sustainable and equitable future for all," he said during his recently concluded visit.
CA’s deputy press secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder and senior assistant press secretary Ahammad Foyez were also present.
