Libya has encouraged Bangladeshi students to study at its prestigious universities and is prepared to engage more Bangladeshi workers, including engineers and physicians, to advance the nation.
When Libyan Ambassador to Bangladesh Abdulmutalib SM Saliman visited Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at his Tejgaon office today, he conveyed the interest of the nation.
Bangladeshi workers have made significant contributions to Libyan society, according to Ambassador Saliman, who also stated that they have a bigger role to play in the nation, particularly in the agricultural sector.
He acknowledged that some Bangladeshi physicians employed in Libya are having trouble getting paid, but he believed that this will be handled as soon as the ongoing reforms in the African nation are finished. Chief Adviser Prof Yunus insisted that Bangladesh and Libya can work together to stop illegal migration and human trafficking. “We don’t support human trafficking. A lot of people are suffering for this. We should work together to stop this,” he said. The chief adviser urged the ambassador to work on increasing bilateral relations between two countries for enhancing trade and investment. He also enquired if Bangladesh could import oil from Libya for mutual benefit. Ambassador Saliman emphasised the resumption of air connectivity between the two countries, seeking cooperation from the Bangladeshi authorities to this end.
