The Bangladesh government yesterday requested Saudi Arabia and other major labour-receiving countries to address the problems of Bangladeshi migrant workers desperately waiting to go back to their workplaces.

The requests were made in a meeting between delegations of missions of Gulf countries and Malaysia and two Bangladeshi ministers at the state guesthouse Padma.

"We have discussed [problems regarding] iqama and visa. We did not get any immediate result. We have to wait a bit," Expatriates' Welfare Minister Imran Ahmad told reporters after the meeting.
