‘Safe migration BD’s political Priority’
BSS, Dhaka :
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen has said establishment of safe, orderly and regular migration is a Bangladesh government’s political priority as per election manifesto of ruling Awami League.
“With more than 1.1 million Rohingyas at hand, we understand very well the mayhem if such unsafe, disorderly and irregular movement of people takes place anywhere,” he said.
Momen was addressing a policy forum on “Road to Implementing Global Compact on Migration (GCM)” at Ecuadorian capital Quito recently, according to a message received here. The minister said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government has given highest importance to the process of migration.
“Bangladesh does not consider migration just as another international issue. We consider migration as an integral path to development both for the host as well as the country of origin,” he said.
Momen said Bangladesh has selected skilled migration as a priority part of the nationwide celebration of birth centenary of its founding father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The minister said Bangladesh government is pledge-bound to provide safety and security to every native and foreign citizen in Bangladesh.
