European Union (EU) Ambassador to Bangladesh Michael Miller on Wednesday said they are working to ensure that the next Bangladesh Parliament will provide comprehensive democratic oversight and accountability in relation to the country’s finances.
Speaking at a high-level event in Dhaka to highlight its support to Bangladesh on Public Financial Management (PFM), he reaffirmed the strength of the EU’s partnership with Bangladesh and its commitment to support reforms, reports UNB.
The envoy stressed the EU’s role as a steadfast friend and reliable partner of Bangladesh, contributing to stronger institutions and inclusive development.
“The European Union stands with Bangladesh at this pivotal moment. We support the delivery of an ambitious reform agenda,” said Ambassador Miller.
Already, he said, they are helping Bangladesh digitise tax policy management and returns, reinforcing the work of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General as an independent authority – essential for structural reforms to stick in place.
Speaking as the chief guest, Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed underlined the significance of continued reform and the value of the longstanding partnership between Bangladesh and the European Union in driving change across key governance sectors.
