Foreign minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud today said four European Union (EU) countries – Italy, Germany, Greece, and Romania – have decided to recruit 3,000 workers from Bangladesh.
He shared the news with journalists after emerging from a farewell meeting with the outgoing EU Ambassador to Bangladesh Charles Whiteley at the foreign ministry here.
“The EU Ambassador indicated the potential for employing more Bangladeshi workers in the future depending on skills and efficiency of these 3,000 workers,” said the foreign minister.
He said during the meeting, they also discussed about ensuring Bangladesh’s Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) or tariff reduction benefits for its products from the EU until 2032, even after Dhaka’s transition from Least Developed Country (LDC) to a middle-income one in 2026.
