Mongolia has expressed keen interest to take agriculture workers from Bangladesh.
Mongolian non-resident ambassador to Bangladesh Ganbold Dambajav on Wednesday expressed the keenness while meeting with Industries Minister Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun at his office in the city, said a press release.
During the meeting, they discussed various issues related to bilateral interest.
Welcoming the keenness of Mongolia to take agriculture workers, Humayun said if Mongolia takes skilled agricultural workers from Bangladesh, they will contribute to Mongolia's agricultural sector.
"I visited Mongolia a decade ago. Agricultural products, such as cheese, milk and meat, are excellent in Mongolia, but the population is very less compared to the land," he added.
Ganbold Dambajav said, "Mongolia has no trade with Bangladesh. We can start business in various fields. Our population is only 35 lakh, but we have about 7.5 crore livestock. Horses, camels, cows, sheep and goats are the main among them."
Senior Secretary of the Industries Ministry Zakia Sultana and Mongolian Honorary Consul for
Bangladesh Nasrin Fatema Awal, among others, were present on the occasion.
Meanwhile, State Minister for Commerce Ahsanul Islam Titu said that Mongolia has expressed its keen interest to recruit skilled human resources from Bangladesh in different areas including doctors, nurses, and engineers.
The interest was expressed when the non-resident Ambassador of Mongolia Ganbold Dambajav met the State Minister at his office at Bangladesh Secretariat today, said a Commerce Ministry press release.
Mentioning that many skilled workers of Bangladesh are now working in different countries of the world with reputation, Ahsanul said that the Bangladeshi workers have great demand in the overseas labour market.
In this regard, the Mongolian Ambassador showed his interest to recruit skilled human resources from Bangladesh especially doctors, nurses, engineers, in construction and agriculture sectors.
Since Mongolia has declared English as the 2nd language of the country, the State Minister requested the Ambassador to recruit more manpower and students skilled in English language.
Ahsanul urged the Mongolian Ambassador to import pharmaceutical items from Bangladesh.
The Mongolian Ambassador also laid emphasis on boosting trade,
