Despite efforts to increase the number of flights, many Saudi expats who were stranded due to lack of permission from the ‘sponsor’ (employer) are unsure about going to that country. In such a situation, the chancellor said. AK Abdul Momen along with the Minister of Welfare for Expatriates and Foreign Employment Imran Ahmed met with the heads of missions from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Iraq and Malaysia at the Padma State Guest House in Dhaka on Wednesday evening. After the meeting, the foreign minister told reporters that if he wanted to go to work in Saudi Arabia, he would need authorization from his employers. Otherwise, no one can go to work. He said that if the employer does not give the job, the worker cannot go.
When asked what the government should do in such a situation, the foreign minister told reporters: “Can you say what we can do?” You said you would give a job, but you didn’t. What can we do in this case?
The foreign minister urged stranded expatriate workers not to take to the streets. “Since they are trained, they have to find new jobs,” he said. They should have no more problems. What to do if the owner does not give the job? The government can’t give anyone a job. ‘
The foreign minister also told reporters that 6,000 people have so far gone to Saudi Arabia and obtained permission.
Relevant sources assure that the matter is not in the hands of the governments of the two countries. Due to the Corona epidemic, business conditions are not the same as before. There is also the risk of corona. Flights to Saudi Arabia from several countries, including India, have been suspended. In such a situation, the Saudi government has kept the door open for Bangladeshis. Most Bangladeshis work in the private sector. If those organizations do not want to hire workers in the current situation, then there is nothing to do.
Visas in the name of some 25,000 Bangladeshis are known to have been issued to go to Saudi Arabia. That visa had a fixed term. They couldn’t go because the trip was closed due to the crown. In many cases, the demand for labor of these Bangladeshis has also decreased. As a result, new visas must be issued on demand.
The Minister of Welfare for Expatriates and Employment Abroad Imran Ahmed said at the Padma state guest house: “Saudi Arabia had issued new visas to 25,000 Bangladeshis as of last March. Those visas have been canceled for lack of use. All of them will be granted new visas again. “A total of 20 weekly flights will be launched with Saudi Arabia starting October 1,” he said. “Of those flights, 10 are from Saudi Airlines and 10 are from Biman.” Expatriate Minister of Welfare and Overseas Employment Imran Ahmed said: “We have briefed the diplomats on our problems. These words will go to your government.
Then you will know what the result will be. But that can’t be said right now. ‘
Expressing optimism, he said: “You always have to think of alternatives. I expected it, but it didn’t happen, so I have to think about what the alternative is. If we sit down with one and it doesn’t happen, we’ll never be at peace.”
