Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today said his government would carry out vital labour reforms in an effort to attract more foreign investment in the country’s manufacturing sector.
He made the comments during a meeting with former British Prime Minister Theresa May on the sidelines of the COP-29 global climate conference in Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku, according to a message received here.
“The labour issue is one of our top priorities and we want to resolve all labour issues,” Prof Yunus told her as they discussed Bangladesh’s recent developments.
Theresa May has stated that she would like to collaborate with Bangladesh on labor-related problems. She also spoke with Bangladesh’s interim leader about migration and human trafficking.
Prof. Yunus urged more people from Bangladesh to migrate to Europe legally, arguing that this would reduce dangers and irregular migration and serve as a deterrent to human trafficking.
Professor Yunus gave Theresa May a copy of the Art of Triumph, a book on murals and graffiti created by young Bangladeshis during the July–August revolution.
In attendance were Bangladesh’s ambassador to Turkey and Azerbaijan, M Anamul Haq; Senior Secretary and Principal Coordinator of SDG Affairs Lamiya Morshed; and Special Envoy to the Chief Adviser Lutfey Siddiqi.
