Minister Momen has already written a letter outlining necessary measures to all the heads of missions abroad with much focus on building stronger relations with Bangladeshi expatriates.
In the letter, he directed the mission heads to keep the consular services line open for 24 hours with immediate effect, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here on Thursday.
The Foreign Minister said it is urgent to improve consular services making it friendly for Bangladeshi expatriates through bringing necessary changes.
He said the flow of investment and remittance into Bangladesh will increase if the Bangladeshi expatriates can be involved in Bangladesh's overall development process.
The desired success depends on friendly relations with expatriates with required services in place, said the Foreign Minister.
He also directed them to make a database on expatriates as per their professions.
