Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus on Monday discussed the army's role in assisting the civil administration under the present circumstances with Chief of Army Staff General Waker-Uz-Zaman.
The discussion took place when Chief of Army Staff General Waker-Uz-Zaman paid a courtesy call on him at the State Guest House Jamuna.
The chief adviser thanked the military for their continued contribution to the maintenance of law and order, said the Chief Adviser's press wing in a statement.
Yunus emphasised the need to streamline this role, including a clearly defined command structure and close coordination among all forces in the coming months leading up to the elections.
"I have made a solemn commitment to the nation to deliver an election that would stand out in terms of voter turnout, participation of new and women voters, global confidence in safety and security, and its atmosphere as a celebration of democracy and rule of law," the chief adviser said.
General Waker-Uz-Zaman, in turn, assured the chief adviser of his full cooperation with the Interim Government.
He urged the chief adviser not to pay attention to rumours circulating around.
"The entire army is committed to making the government successful in all its initiatives and programmes," Waker-Uz-Zaman said.
