Ershad for expanding BD labour market

Jatiya Party (JP) Chairman HM Ershad on Thursday said Bangladesh urgently needs to take steps for expanding its labour market abroad to help address the 'appalling' unemployment problem in the country, reports UNB.
"The JP government had showed the path of manpower export and now we're earning vast foreign currency through manpower export," said Mr Ershad.
The JP chief, also a special envoy to the Prime Minister, said this while speaking at a views-exchange meeting with JP Kuwait branch leaders at his Banani office.
Mr Ershad said all those living abroad need to uphold the country's image, and expressed the hope that the labour market would be expanded further once the workers start working with more sincerity.
