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 High Commissioner was appreciative of the policy initiatives and social safety net programmes of Bangladesh in the face of prolonged pandemic. To expand trade, the High Commissioner hoped that the negotiations for Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will start soon.

Foreign minister lauded the strong moral and political support of Malaysia in favour of Rohingyas and sought further support from both Malaysia and ASEAN for a durable solution to the Rohingya crisis. He requested Malaysia to continue the operation of the Field Hospital to the support of the Rohingyas even in a limited form.

He noted that recently the First Gentleman of Singapore donated relief materials to the Rohingyas staying in Bhasan Char island.

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.
