DHAKA: Bangladesh’s newly-formed interim government on Friday underlined the need to maintain a “balance” in Dhaka’s relations with the “big countries”.

Restoring law and order is the key priority of the interim government at the moment and others will be back on track once the first goal is achieved, Foreign Affairs adviser Md Touhid Hossain, a former foreign secretary, told reporters here.

“We want to keep good relations with all. We need to maintain a balance of relations with the big countries,” Hossain said, without naming any nation.
