Bangladesh Prime Minister meets Malaysian counterpart

The high-level talks between Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and his Malaysian Counterpart Anwar Ibrahim took place on Monday at Perdana Putra in Putrajaya. Prime Minister Rahman arrived in Kuala Lumpur, where he was received with a formal red-carpet welcome and a guard of honor.

A primary focus of the meeting was addressing foreign worker issues. Rahman explicitly requested that Kuala Lumpur reopen its labour market to Bangladeshi migrant workers. Both leaders expressed strong concerns over past recruitment exploitation and committed to new measures ensuring transparency and protecting worker welfare to prevent systemic ill-treatment.
