Bangladesh Cites Economic, Strategic Potential In ASEAN Bid
By Noor Bakhtiar Ahmad KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- Bangladesh is stepping up its bid to be a sectoral dialogue partner of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with Chief Adviser Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus emphasising the country's economic and strategic advantages as key to deepening ties with the bloc. Yunus highlighted that Bangladesh's population of more than 170 million offers ASEAN both a substantial market and an available workforce for regional industries, while its untapped economic potential presents significant opportunities for collaboration and growth. bootstrap slideshow 'There are many unexplored areas of investment which would be easy to pursue with Myanmar. We don't do deep sea fishing, for example. We have a big ocean right outside, but we never exploit that. 'So with Myanmar joining in, it becomes another opportunity to work together in deep sea fishing because we share the ocean together," he told the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) in a special interview held on the sidelines of his official visit here. The interview was led by Bernama's Editor-in-Chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj together with Editor of International News Service Voon Miaw Ping, and Assistant Editor of Economic News Service Kisho Kumari Sucedaram. The South Asian nation has sought for a sectoral dialogue partner status with ASEAN, and the pursuit has gained momentum since Yunus assumed leadership of Bangladeshi interim government in Aug last year. The Nobel Prize Laureate who was on an official visit to Malaysia from Aug 11 to 13 said the matter was also discussed during his meeting with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and current ASEAN Chair. "One of the things we have been discussing since his visit on October 4 (last year) was joining ASEAN.

Malaysia and Bangladesh to establish cleaner, transparent recruitment system, says Muhammad Yunus
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia and Bangladesh have agreed to work towards establishing a cleaner and more transparent recruitment process for Bangladeshi workers. Chief Adviser to Bangladesh's government Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus said this was discussed in depth during his meeting with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Putrajaya on Tuesday. He also acknowledged existing flaws in the current process and stressed the need to "clean it up" to avoid problems for either side. "We had a very elaborate discussion on how to proceed without having trouble for the Malaysian government. "We both promised ourselves to clean up the system and to make it easier and transparent," he told Bernama. The Nobel Prize laureate said that while Malaysia needs foreign workers, Bangladesh also seeks to ensure that the recruitment of its citizens is transparent, allowing them to work abroad with dignity, proper rights and benefits. "Malaysia needs people and we need to have these people come here to make a living for themselves and their families. So both sides need each other. "There is no shortage of goodwill. It's a question of putting together and see where the things go wrong and then we track and clean it up," he said. As of February 2025, Bangladeshi nationals form the largest group of foreign workers in Malaysia, numbering at 898,970. They represent a critical workforce in the country, primarily employed in the construction, manufacturing, plantation and service sectors. The Home Ministry has implemented the Multiple Entry Visa (MEV) facility for Bangladeshi workers, effective Aug 8, underscoring Kuala Lumpur's commitment to ethical and regulated labour cooperation with Dhaka. Yunus was on a three-day official visit to Malaysia from Aug 11-14 at the invitation of Anwar, reciprocating the Prime Minister's visit to Dhaka in October 2024. – Bernama
