Bangladesh provides security to visitors

Foreigners working in apparel and other factories in Bangladesh in different industrial zones in and outside the capital are now under extensive security vigilance following the recent terrorist attacks.

Foreign experts from 20 countries, mainly from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and China, are currently working in the garment, textile and leather factories. Most of them are serving as consultants, quality controllers and supervisors, designers, human resource officers and marketing officers.

There are around 4,350 foreigners. Of these foreigners, some 7,920 are from India, 2,612 from Pakistan, 2,873 from Sri Lanka, and more than 2,800 from China.

Full-time security is being provided to global buyers and retailers during their stay in Bangladesh.

In the Gulshan café attack nine Italians who were involved in the garment business were killed. Foreign buyers have started postponing their scheduled visits to Dhaka for business negotiations, citing security reasons. In many cases, buyers have asked their local agents to be present in a third country for meetings along with representatives from other exporting countries.

Some 26,600 foreigners have taken work permits to work in Bangladesh during the last five years and most of them are employed in the readymade sector.

As for foreign nationals who have entered illegally, they will be brought under the legal procedure and allowed either to stay in Bangladesh or will be pushed back to their respective countries.
