Event Summary

Bangladesh's labor market in Mauritius is set to reopen after being closed for nearly four years, following a policy-level agreement between the two countries to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The decision was made during a bilateral meeting between Bangladesh's Minister for Labour and Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment, Ariful Haque Choudhury, and Mauritius' Minister of Labour, Muhammad Reza Cassam Uteem, on the sidelines of the 114th International Labour Organization in Switzerland — Geneva. The agreement will facilitate the recruitment of Bangladeshi workers, including skilled professionals like doctors, engineers, nurses, and accountants, to meet Mauritius' labor needs, especially in its integrated textile industry. Mauritius also expressed strong interest in investing in Bangladesh's textile sector.
