KSA urged to recruit more Bangladeshis

Bangladesh has urged the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to recruit manpower in large quantities as the coronavirus hit the export of manpower during the pandemic period in 2020 and 2021. Speaker of Jatiya Sangsad Dr Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury expressed this view when Saudi Ambassador Essa Yussef Essa Al Dulaihan called on her at her office in the city on Sunday. Terming Bangladesh-Saudi Arabia as warm and friendly, Chowdhury said the bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries will reach a new height in the days to come. As the KSA is the largest recruiter of Bangladeshi workers, Chowdhury said: “As the Kingdom is implementing some mega projects involving billions of US dollars, the Gulf country will recruit a large quantity of Bangladeshi manpower in the coming years.” Bangladesh exported a total of 4,581,330 workers to the KSA during the period of 1976-2021, representing a share of 33.93% of total manpower exports.
