The minister said that when the concerned workers later go to Saudi Arabia, their entry will be completed automatically in the electronic system. At the meeting, he emphasized reducing the migration cost of workers and said that where it is possible to go abroad for Tk 3 lakh, taking Tk 7-8 lakh is inappropriate. At the same time, he said that work is underway to launch modern technology at BMET to simplify the process of going abroad and verify visas.
At the event, Special Guest State Minister for Expatriates' Welfare Md. Nurul Haque urged the Saudi government to bring Bangladeshis imprisoned in Saudi Arabia under special amnesty next Ramadan. In addition, Saudi Ambassador Dr. Abdullah Jafar H. Bin Abia, present as Guest of Honor, said that after Saudi citizens, Bangladeshi workers are the most numerous residents in Saudi Arabia, and in the future relations between the two countries in the labor sector will be further strengthened.
