Saudi Arabia to employ more Bangladeshis

Saudi Arabia has assured Bangladesh of taking more doctors and health staff for its hospitals as the two countries agreed to work closely in the health sector.
The health ministers of the two countries in a bilateral meeting in Riyadh Sunday put forward some proposals to work together. They also agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to this end ‘soon’, the health ministry said in a media release. The development came during the first official visit of Health and Family Welfare Minister Mohammad Nasim to the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia is the largest manpower export destination for Bangladesh with nearly one-fourth of its expatriate workforce working in the oil-rich kingdom, according to a news agency.
