During his visit to Dhaka on Nov 5, Chabot met with both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition.
Chabot’s visit to Bangladesh had came at a time when the country's politics turned volatile and uncertain due to Opposition strikes, often violent, to push for a neutral caretaker which the ruling Awami League is opposed to.
The ruling Awami League wants all-party interim government which the Opposition has refused to accept.
