The cabinet has approved the draft of a deal to send 1,129 members of the armed forces to Qatar on deputation.
An agreement was signed on Tuesday in Doha, Qatar in this regard.
As a result of this agreement, members of the armed forces of Bangladesh will be recruited into the armed forces of Qatar.
In a press conference organized after signing the agreement, Principal Staff Officer of the Armed Forces Division of Bangladesh Lieutenant General Waker-Uz-Zaman said: “Through this agreement, a bridge will be established between the armed forces of the two countries. Besides, bridges will be established between the people of the two countries.”
The agreement signed on Tuesday is a continuation of the MoU that was signed in October 2022, he added.
He said: “In future it will be possible to take more people from our armed forces. Currently, 1,129 people have been appointed. Through this, enough remittances will come to our country.
