Appreciating the Omani government for hosting a large Bangladeshi community in the Sultanate, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaed Islam on Sunday reiterated Bangladesh government’s zero-tolerance policy against illegal migration.
She also emphasised Bangladesh’s priority to send skilled and semi-skilled workers abroad so that they can contribute effectively to the economies of both the host country and Bangladesh.
The State Minister also expressed appreciation for Oman’s support for Bangladesh’s candidacy in the election for the President of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly (PGA81).
The issues were discussed when Ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman to Bangladesh Jamil Haji Ismail Al Balushi paid a courtesy call on the State Minister for Foreign Affairs at her office.
During the meeting, the State Minister lauded the constructive role of the Omani leadership in promoting peace and stability in the Middle East region, said the Ministry.
The Omani Ambassador conveyed his Government’s felicitations to the BNP-led Government of Bangladesh on its victory in the 13th Parliamentary Election.
The two sides discussed ways to further strengthen bilateral relations and expand cooperation in areas such as economy, trade, investment, culture, and sports.
