Govt advises Bangladeshis not to visit Libya

The government yesterday advised Bangladesh nationals not to visit Libya until further notice.

"Bangladesh nationals, including migrant workers, are again strongly advised not to undertake any visit to Libya in view of the ongoing fighting and deteriorating security situation," said a press statement of the finance ministry yesterday.

The ministry said it is monitoring the situation.

"Unless unavoidable, visiting Bangladesh nationals from Libya are also advised to refrain from travelling back to Libya for the time being," the press release added.

The government in July this year suspended its mission in Libya and relocated its embassy to Tunisia.
