CA urges Australia to raise migration from BD

Chief Adviser (CA) Professor Muhammad Yunus on Thursday urged the Australian government to regularise migrants and increase regular migration from Bangladesh, reports UNB.
He came up with the call when Australia's Home Minister Tony Burke called on him (Chief Adviser) at the State Guest House Jamuna in the city.
During the meeting, the visiting Australian minister, the most high profile Australian official to have visited Bangladesh since the interim government took over, raised the issue of irregular migration from Bangladesh, saying his government would like to start negotiations over the matter.
He said they were considering an increased number of regular migrations from Bangladesh.
He told the CA about their plan to bring its visa centre back to Dhaka and hold negotiations to prevent irregular migration between Bangladesh and Australia.
Prof Yunus thanked the minister for visiting Bangladesh at a crucial time of the country and for supporting the interim government in its efforts to carry out much needed reforms.
Burke, whose constituency is home to a large number of Bangladeshi diaspora, said he followed events in the country with much interest and witnessed their big celebrations after the fall of the dictatorial regime.
