Jordan urged to hire more Bangladeshis
Foreign Minister Dipu Moni has urged the Jordan government to hire more workers from Bangladesh, who can effectively contribute to the economic development of Jordan.
She made the call during her meeting, held on the sideline of the on-going UN General Assembly, with her Jordanian counterpart Naser Judeh in New York Monday.
The foreign minister also sought Jordan's support for Bangladesh's candidature for the non-permanent seat of the UN Security Council for the term 2016-17.
Naser Judeh assured the candidature of Bangladesh will receive attentive consideration by the Jordanian government considering the special relations existing between the two countries.
Earlier on the day, Dipu Moni attended a business meeting hosted by the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU) in a local hotel.
She drew attention of the audience made up largely of US business leaders about the hefty US tariff being charged on the RMG products of Bangladesh in the US market.
