In a joint discussion after meeting with Italian Home Minister Matteo Piantidosi at the meeting room of the Home Ministry at the Secretariat on Monday (May 5), Home Affairs Advisor Lieutenant General (retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said that the Italian government has expressed interest in taking more workers from Bangladesh through legal channels.

He said that the Italian side has recognized Bangladeshi workers as hard workers and has expressed interest in taking new workers through legal channels. They also want to discourage the trend of irregular entry by sea. Bangladesh has requested that the government consider legalizing the workers who are already irregularly staying in Italy.

When asked how many Bangladeshi workers are currently in Italy, the advisor said that although the exact number is not known, it is estimated that about one lakh Bangladeshis are working there. However, new recruitment will be done only through legal processes.

The advisor also said that discussions have been held between Bangladesh and Italy on increasing cooperation with the police, coast guard and BGB, and the Italian side has agreed. They will provide training to enhance the capacity of Bangladesh's law enforcement agencies.

Meanwhile, regarding the recent attack on NCP leader Hasnat Abdullah, he said that 54 people were brought under the law on Monday (May 4) night on suspicion of involvement in the incident. No one involved in such incidents will be spared.

Regarding the series of attacks on leaders of the July Movement, he said that the number of such incidents is decreasing and security will be strengthened so that action can be taken early in the future.
