The interim government on Wednesday said some of the principles of the China-proposed Global Governance Initiative (CGI) are ‘consistent’ with Bangladesh's policy.
"Some of the principles of CGI are consistent with Bangladesh's policy. For example, Bangladesh upholds the principle of sovereign equality in the conduct of its bilateral relations with other countries," said the Chief Adviser’s spokesperson when asked about Bangladesh's position on the recent proposal by Chinese President Xi Jinping of the GGI.
"Our commitment to this principle will endure in the future", he added.
The principles of multilateralism and international rule of law, including the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter critically inform Bangladesh's foreign policy, the spokesperson said.
Besides, he said, the interim government has been pursuing a people-centered approach in order to ensure democratic governance and real results for our people.
"We will continue to adhere to these principles in the design and conduct of our policies taking into account our particular needs and circumstances", the spokesperson added.
