Bangladesh’s interim gov’t goes for dialogue with major parties on reforms

DHAKA, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) — The Bangladeshi interim government will hold a dialogue on reforms with the major political parties on Saturday.
Shafiqul Alam, press secretary of the country’s chief adviser, told reporters at a press conference in Dhaka Wednesday that Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus and other advisers will take part in the dialogue.
