DHAKA, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- The Bangladeshi interim government has announced the formation of its National Consensus Commission to bring major reforms to the state system.

According to a circular issued by the Cabinet Division on Wednesday, the national commission was formed under the leadership of the Chief Adviser of the interim government Muhammad Yunus.

With a fixed tenure of six months, the national commission includes the heads of six different reform commissions formed earlier and will start functioning from Feb. 15.

Officials said the newly formed commission will hold discussions with political parties and stakeholders to help create national consensus on reforms in line with the expectations of the people.

Yunus took oath as the head of the country's interim government on Aug. 8, 2024, following the resignation of the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

In his address to the nation on Sept. 11, Yunus announced the formation of six commissions for reforms in the electoral system, police, judiciary, public administration, constitution and Anti-Corruption Commission. Yunus has already expressed his determination to quickly advance reforms and hold an election thereafter. Enditem
