The Saudi government on Wednesday positively responded to workers’ issues ending barriers to their return to the workplaces in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). On Friday, Foreign Minister Dr Momen reiterated that the Saudi Arabia will not send back 54,000 Rohingyas living there for decades. There are many people to instigate because Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia maintain very good relations with 22 lakh workers in the KSA. Dr Momen, however, said the Saudi government urged Bangladesh to take back 462 Rohingyas who are currently in Saudi jails for committing criminal activities. Dr Momen said Bangladesh will bring back those 70 to 80 people having Bangladesh’s passports by issuing travel documents.
