Bangladesh Interim Government
Before signing an agreement with China, its preconditions must be verified
The Chief Adviser of the Interim Government, Dr. Mohammad Yunus, is scheduled to visit China on a four-day state visit on March 26. This will be Dr. Mohammad Yunus' first bilateral state visit to China since taking over the responsibility of state administration. While there are various reasons why Dr. Yunus' visit to China is significant, the most important aspect is strengthening bilateral economic relations. The visit is also politically significant, but it is expected that economic issues will take precedence. China's economic influence worldwide cannot be denied. At present, China is one of the largest financial aid providers globally. China has been generously providing financial assistance to various countries, including Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
No one should be allowed to play with Constitution

In this context, an interim government led by Dr. Yunus took charge of the state's administration. Essentially, it was the protesting students who have been controlling the interim government
Why no commission for education reform?
The interim government has formed several commissions to implement reforms in various sectors. These committees have already submitted their reports with recommendations to the government. However, the unfortunate reality is that no commission has been formed to reform the nation’s backbone — the education system. Although several commissions in the past have submitted reports for educational reforms, no government has implemented the recommendations of these education commissions. As a result, the current education system is unable to meet the demands of the times. We are producing a highly educated workforce, but there are doubts about how well-educated they actually are and whether they can contribute to building a prosperous state. Without creating a modern, technology-driven, and vocational education system, the nation will never reach its desired goals. The workforce our education system is producing is not capable of competing on the international stage.

Interim government can initiate reforms, elected government to execute
One hundred days is not a long time to evaluate the activities of a regular government. For this special type of government, we must be even more flexible. However, after taking office, an evaluation can be made of what responsibilities this government could have fulfilled and what it has actually done in those 100 days. Such an evaluation is needed to make the current government’s role more effective. This government has more opportunities to accomplish things compared to a regular government, because it does not have any political affiliations. If it wishes, it can take various initiatives for the public interest. Since this interim government has come to power through a popular uprising, expectations from it are high. They do not have to worry about elections. If they take the people's aspirations into account, they can accomplish significant work.

Taskforce needed to repatriate laundered money
Several days have passed since the interim government was established under the leadership of Dr Muhammad Yunus. The Interim Government faces an ongoing challenge: to create a stable environment for import and export activities, increase foreign exchange reserves and revenue collection, ensure a steady supply of daily necessities, control commodity prices, combat inflation, and tackle widespread bribery and corruption. Additionally, it must address the issue of defaulted loans and restore order in the banking sector. Among the significant concerns during the Awami League government's tenure were corruption and money laundering. This discussion will focus specifically on money laundering and the repatriation of illicit funds. The current financial adviser, Saleh Uddin Ahmed, who previously served as the Governor of Bangladesh Bank, and Governor Ahsan H. Mansoor, a renowned economist, have both contributed regularly to various newspapers on banking sector issues and macroeconomic policies. Their expertise is expected to play a crucial role in restoring economic order.
