Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed on Sunday said the interim government has new priorities and those might not match with the priorities of the previous Awami League government.
He made the statement while briefing reporters after French Ambassador to Bangladesh Marie Masdupuy called on him at his Finance Ministry office at the Secretariat.
Responding to a question over about $1.1 billion possible support to Bangladesh announced by the French President last year in climate change adaptation while the Awami League government was in power, the Adviser said there was no discussion in this regard.
He said France has technical experts in various sectors including in IT while Bangladesh has some ongoing projects with French financing worth more than 400 million Euro.
“They will also provide us support in different sectors,” he added.
In line with the French investments to Bangladesh, Dr Salehuddin hoped that many other countries would come to Bangladesh.
