He said the interim government has already taken initiatives to develop skilled manpower having knowledge on Japanese language.
Noting that about 3,000 Bangladeshi youths already came to Japan for language training this year, he hoped that about 10,000 people would come to Japan within this year to study Japanese language and they would get jobs here too.
Alam said Japan is looking towards Bangladesh to recruit its human resources.
Bangladesh Embassy to Japan arranged a human resources seminar in Tokyo where Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus spoke, he said.
He said the purpose of the seminar is to inform the Japanese companies that Bangladesh has enough human resources and it is ready to send those to Japan.
A significant number of representatives of Japanese companies participated in the seminar, Alam added.
