The Council of Advisers of the interim government is set for expansion today (Sunday), with new members expected to take oath later in the evening.

"Yes, it's getting expanded. But I can't tell you the number at this moment," a senior official of the interim government told UNB.

The oath-taking ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Darbar Hall of Bangabhaban in the presence of senior government officials and dignitaries.

Meanwhile, Chief of Army Staff General Waker-Uz-Zaman paid a courtesy call on Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus earlier in the day at his Tejgaon office.

Details of the meeting were not disclosed, but the Chief Adviser's press wing confirmed the engagement, describing it as a formal interaction.
