CA vows to announce July Charter on political consensus

Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus today (2 June) said the July Charter will be announced by reaching consensus with all political parties. 

“We all have gathered here today for the welfare of the country… we hope that we will be able to prepare a very beautiful July Charter by reaching consensus with all political parties,” he said. 

The chief adviser made the remarks while delivering his opening speech at a dialogue of the National Consensus Commission at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka this afternoon.

He said the government hopes that it will be able to proclaim the July Charter minimising distance among the political parties. 

Yunus, also the chairman of the commission, said he is very happy to see that representatives from different political parties joined the dialogue aiming to reach a national consensus. 

Commission Vice-Chairman Ali Riaz said the commission continues its effort to announce the July Charter in July next as the tenure of the commission will conclude in August of 2025.

“We must succeed in performing the holy responsibility bestowed us,” he said. 

The second round of dialogue of the National Consensus Commission with the political parties began today at the Foreign Service Academy with CA Yunus in the chair.

Representatives from different political parties and stakeholders involved in the reform process joined the dialogue. 

The commission was formed to review and finalise recommendations submitted by five key reform commissions on constitution, judiciary, electoral system, public administration, and the Anti-Corruption Commission.

The first round of talks, held between 15 February and 19 May, involved meetings with 33 political parties.
