French Ambassador to Bangladesh Marie Masdupuy on Wednesday said interim government's agenda to fight corruption would be a "key enabler" to further enhance trade and investments in Bangladesh as many were facing hurdles with customs and investment authority.
She said French firms were interested in setting up three solar parks in Bangladesh and installing "lightning arresters" in 15 lightning-prone districts in the country
France is ready to support Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus and the Interim Government in their efforts to rebuild the country, the ambassador of France said.
The French envoy made the comments when she paid a courtesy call on the Chief Adviser at the State Guest House Jamuna in Dhaka.
The envoy said French President Emmanuel Macron has invited him to visit France at a convenient time.
She also expressed her condolences at the death of students and people who were killed in the July-August revolution.
Professor Yunus said the student-led revolution has given the Interim Government an opportunity to rebuild the country like never before.
"It is a big task. But we see it as a big opportunity. If we don't use the opportunity, it will be a big failure," the Chief Adviser said.
He said the Interim Government to stay "as short as the people want or as long as they want".
