Bangladesh Prime Minister Tareq Rahman and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim held a private and bilateral meeting on Monday morning at Perdana Putra in Putrajaya. The two leaders discussed transparency in labor recruitment, worker welfare, and cooperation in trade, energy, and employment. Both sides expressed commitment to building prosperity through partnership, promoting regional peace, and fostering a more inclusive international order. No immediate major announcement on the labor market was made, as earlier indicated by Bangladesh’s foreign ministry.
During a joint press conference, Tareq Rahman urged Malaysia to recruit more Bangladeshi workers, reopen the labor market quickly, and consider regularizing undocumented workers. Anwar Ibrahim praised Rahman’s sincerity and emphasized that worker exploitation and abuse must end, calling for transparent processes that protect laborers and their families. The meeting also covered cooperation in halal economy, semiconductors, agriculture, education, and people-to-people exchanges.
Both leaders voiced optimism that the discussions would mark a new chapter in Bangladesh–Malaysia relations, with expectations of positive future impacts on labor and economic collaboration.
