"Professor Yunus thanked the Malaysian Prime Minister for the call, and he also hoped that more Bangladeshi people will find work opportunities in the South East Asian nations in the near future," it said.
Yunus was sworn in as the chief advisor, a role equivalent to that of prime minister, following the collapse of the Hasina-led Awami League government last week. Shortly after, he announced the portfolios for his 16-member council of advisors.
Reports indicate that clashes related to the quota reform movement have resulted in the deaths of over 500 people so far.
