Bahrain has lifted its ban on the import of Bangladeshi workers on condition that they provide a certificate of good conduct, a senior official said.
The move comes two months after the ban was imposed following the death of a Bahraini at the hands of a Bangladeshi man, Khaleej Times reported on Tuesday.
The Counsellor and Charge d’Affaires of the Bangladeshi Embassy, Mohammed Saiful Islam, is quoted as saying he received a letter from the General Directorate of Nationality, Passport and Residence at the Ministry of Interior confirming the government’s promise to review the ban.
He said he appreciated the tolerant approach of Bahrain’s government and hoped his people would return the favour by further dedicating their efforts towards building developments.
