Steiner wished Prof Yunus and the Advisory Council every success as the chief adviser guides his nation through a peaceful, just and democratic transition, towards a more inclusive and prosperous future for all people of Bangladesh.

“As a friend, I wish you well on every step along the way and cannot state enough my excitement as you take on this important role for your country. Please count on our full support in particular on the ground through our UNDP Country Office in Bangladesh, headed by Stefan Liller,” the message read.
