On his final day as Bangladesh chief adviser, Muhammad Yunus stated that his interim government successfully strengthened the country’s sovereignty and national interests in foreign policy. In a televised address, he said Bangladesh is now “confident, active, and responsible in protecting its independent interests.” Yunus, who assumed office on August 8, 2024, also spoke about the Northeast region, mentioning India’s “seven sister states,” Nepal, and Bhutan. He emphasized Bangladesh’s economic potential for the region through trade agreements, economic zones, and duty-free market access. He added that Bangladesh’s open sea serves as more than a boundary, acting as a gateway for the country to connect with the global economy and drive regional prosperity.
