A new Bangladesh has been introduced: Yunus says after signing July Charter

Urging political leaders to have talks for a fair and festive election, Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus today said the signing of July National Charter 2025 symbolises unity.

"We are talking about elections. The tune we played together today is a tune of unity. We will move forward to the election with this same spirit. The election will be held in February, and it is essential that we maintain this unity," Yunus said soon after signing the charter at the South Plaza of Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.

Through signing the July Charter, a new Bangladesh has been introduced, he remarked.

He urged all not to deviate from the charter. "We have entered into a civilised society from barbarism," he said.

Yunus, also the chief of the National Consensus Commission, thanked politicians, stressing that they not only set an example for the nation but also for the world. "With this, they took the nation to a new height," he said.

The chief adviser remembered those who sacrificed their lives and those who were injured during the uprising with due respect and said they ushered in this opportunity for the nation.

Chief Adviser Yunus and Vice President of the National Consensus Commission Professor Ali Riaz signed the charter, joined by several political leaders.

Prof Yunus also exchanged pleasantries with political leaders and joined them for a group photo.

Yunus said the National Consensus Commission and political leaders held discussions in a very friendly atmosphere where the latter upheld their positions and principles through genuine dialogue.

He said people across the country witnessed the healthy debate and got engaged in this process. "The discussion was not just confined in a room but you engaged the whole nation," Yunus said.

He also highlighted the potential of regional cooperation for mutual benefits.

The chief adviser said he can guarantee that many countries will come to Bangladesh to learn from the example set by the signing of July Charter.

He said these achievements will be incorporated in the textbooks so that the young generation can read and understand the path the politicians have shown them.

Representatives of 25 political parties were present at the July National Charter 2025 signing ceremony organised by the National Consensus Commission.
