Dhaka, August 8 — The United States has expressed its readiness to work with the newly formed interim government of Bangladesh. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller conveyed this stance during a briefing, stating that Washington is closely monitoring the developments in Bangladesh.

Addressing the rapid changes in Bangladesh, Miller emphasized, "We think the interim government will play an important role in establishing long-term peace and political stability in Bangladesh."

He further stated, "All decisions regarding the interim government should respect democratic principles, the rule of law, and the will of the Bangladeshi people. Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has agreed to lead Bangladesh's interim government. We are ready to work with the interim government because this government will determine the democratic future of the people of Bangladesh."

According to the NDTV report, Muhammad Yunus is set to be sworn in as the head of the interim government on Thursday. Yunus has called for calm and urged people to refrain from violence to fully benefit from this "new victory."
