BNP Standing Committee member Dr. Abdul Moin Khan announced that if his party forms the government, it will introduce special technical training for workers before they go abroad for employment. He made the statement on Tuesday at the National Press Club in Dhaka during a discussion titled “Rights of Expatriates and Thoughts for Today and Tomorrow,” organized by the Global Bangladeshi Expatriates Summit 2026. Moin Khan emphasized that migrant workers should be prepared not only technically but also mentally to succeed abroad.

He noted that remittances sent by expatriates are mostly spent on family expenses rather than investments. He suggested that the state could invest these funds and share the returns with the workers, reducing dependence on foreign aid. Moin Khan also said that many returnee migrants eventually face financial hardship and that their earnings should be utilized in national industries and investments to ensure sustainable benefits.

Speakers at the event called for effective one-stop services for expatriates, protection of their assets from land grabbers, and reserved parliamentary seats to ensure their political representation.
