Saudi Arabia has agreed to Bangladesh to gradually repatriate Bangladeshi workers from Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud agreed with the decision of Bangladesh government while talking to Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen over phone yesterday.
Migrant workers interested in returning home from Saudi Arabia will be repatriated in phases so that quarantine can be maintained properly. However, in bringing back Bangladeshis from there, priority will be given to Umrah pilgrims, students studying in Saudi Arabia and female domestic workers.
