In addition, work is underway to create a special app for expatriates so that all Bangladeshi expatriates living in different countries of the world can stay connected on one platform, the Chief Adviser said.
Referring to the role of expatriates in Bangladesh’s economic recovery from the devastating situation, he said the situation in the country has now returned to a comfortable state. “You have made a big contribution to the recovery of the economy.”
Several problems of Bangladeshi expatriates in Malaysia were discussed in the meeting.
Among those, discussions have been held with Malaysian authorities on increasing manpower at the embassy, granting Graduate Plus visas to Bangladeshi students, regularising those who have become irregular, and cooperation in the trade and industry sectors, said Expatriate Welfare Adviser Asif Nazrul.
Representatives from different professions, classes, organisations, and businesses participated in the meeting.
