The request was made during a courtesy call by German Ambassador Achim Tröster at the adviser’s office in the Rail Bhaban Tuesday on (September 17).

During the visit, Ambassador Tröster congratulated Fouzul Kabir Khan on his appointment as an adviser to the interim government of Bangladesh.

In the meeting, Fouzul Kabir Khan highlighted the government’s dedication to fulfilling the people’s expectations.

“The current government’s primary mandate is to combat corruption, establish good governance, alleviate public suffering, and meet popular demands,” he said.
