Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Friday, October 17, described the signing moment of the July National Charter-2025 as a ‘great day’ and sees it as the beginning of ‘New Bangladesh’.

"It's a great day. It's the beginning of New Bangladesh," he said in his speech soon after signing of the historic document.

Prof Yunus, also the chief of the National Consensus Commission, thanked the 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," Prof Yunus said.

The Chief Adviser remembered those who sacrificed their lives during the July Uprising and who got injured with due respect and said they, in fact, brought this opportunity for the nation. "Let us remember them."

The Historic July Charter was officially signed at the South Plaza of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.

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

Earlier, the much-hyped event began with the singing of the national anthem.

The proceedings were conducted by Chief Adviser’s Special Assistant Monir Haider.

After the Chief Adviser’s speech, a film was screened. Professor Yunus also exchanged pleasantries with political leaders and joined them for a group photo.
