Chief of Army Staff General Waker-Uz-Zaman has announced that the oath-taking ceremony of the interim government will be held at 8pm on Thursday.

He made these remarks during a press briefing at the Army Headquarters on Wednesday afternoon.

In response to a question, the army chief said: "We are making every effort to hold the oath-taking ceremony tomorrow (Thursday). There was a proposal to hold it in the afternoon. However, that would result in a very tight schedule because Dr Yunus is expected to arrive in the country around 2:10pm. It would be difficult to arrange the ceremony after that. Therefore, we may hold it around 8pm. The arrangement will accommodate a total of 400 people."

When asked about the size of the interim government, he said: "I believe it might initially consist of around 15 members. However, one or two more individuals may be added."
