Bangladesh: Govt to take steps to solve expats’ problems in the Maldives, says PM

DHAKA, 25 December 2021, (TON): Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said her government would take measures to solve the problems being faced by Bangladeshi expatriates in Maldives.

She said in a reception "I had successful bilateral talks with Maldivian president. The matter of legalising undocumented Bangladeshi workers came up prominently in the dialogue.”

The PM said that they would take prompt measures so that Bangladeshi expatriates could send back their hard-earned Maldivian currency directly without converting into dollars, for which they have to face losses.

She directed authorities concerned including the Bangladesh Bank to take measures to solve the crisis, saying, "I think it can be solved easily."

The prime minister said they would consider setting up a government bank branch and money exchange in Maldives.
