He appreciated the Government of Malaysia for allowing the workers to change employers and also for introducing the recalibration program under which illegal workers would have an opportunity to legalise.

The Malaysian High Commissioner acknowledged the immense contribution of Bangladeshi workers and professionals in Malaysian economy and society. She assured to take up the issue of worker's return with her government.

The Foreign Minister hoped that Bangladesh-Malaysia bilateral relations would reach a newer height during her tenure in Dhaka through meaningful cooperation and collaboration in different areas of interest.
