[ Yunus was very emotional at the airport and tried to hold back tears while answering reporters' questions. But despite his excitement, he was also very rational and said: "Unless we restore law and order, we will not be able to move forward." ]

In 2006, Bangladeshi economist Yunus won the Nobel Prize for his innovative research in poverty alleviation. 18 years later, the 84-year-old Yunus has once again been put on the center stage. This time, the "banker of the poor" not only needs to pay attention to the poverty issue, but also think about how to benefit the 170 million Bangladeshi people.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the interim government of Bangladesh led by Yunus was sworn in in the capital Dhaka on the evening of August 8. The interim government members include Chief Advisor Yunus and 16 advisors.

Previously, the Hasina government, which had been in power for 15 consecutive years, suddenly collapsed in early August. With the coordination of the military and protest organizations, Yunus, who was widely accepted at home and had considerable influence internationally, suddenly became the only choice to lead the interim government.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in response to reporters' questions on the establishment of the interim government of Bangladesh on the 9th that China has noted the establishment of the interim government of Bangladesh and welcomes it. China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, respected the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bangladesh, respected the development path independently chosen by the Bangladeshi people, and always pursued a good-neighborly and friendly policy towards all Bangladeshi people.

The spokesperson said that China and Bangladesh have a long-standing traditional friendship. China attaches importance to the development of China-Bangladesh relations and is willing to work with Bangladesh to promote exchanges and cooperation in various fields between the two countries and advance the development of the China-Bangladesh comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.
