Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged the Saudi government to recruit more manpower from Bangladesh.
The premier made the request when outgoing Saudi Ambassador to Bangladesh Dr Abdullah Bin Naser Al-Busairi paid a courtesy call on her at her Jatiya Sangsad Office on Monday evening, reports BSS.
After the meeting, PM's Press Secretary AKM Shameem Chowdhuri briefed the reporters.
Sheikh Hasina thanked the Saudi government for hosting a huge number of expatriate Bangladeshis.
In reply, the outgoing Saudi ambassador said Bangladeshi workers are well-mannered and hardworking and they are now safe in Saudi Arabia.
At the meeting, the premier hoped that both Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia would continue working together for peace, progress and prosperity for the two nations as well as welfare of the Muslim Ummah.
Sheikh Hasina requested the envoy to convey her compliments to King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, the custodian of the two holy mosques--Masjid-al-Haram and Masjid-e-Nababi.
The outgoing Saudi ambassador hoped that the existing brotherly ties between the two countries would be further consolidated in the days to come.
