Through the creation of a community, it is expected that the ability and experience of returning workers in Korea can be transmitted to prospective workers, as well as a medium of communication to share ideas for a successful settlement in Bangladesh, such as starting a venture business.
His Excellency Park Young-sik, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Bangladesh, expressed Korea has also dispatched miners and nurses to Germany in the past and dispatched construction workers to the Middle East.
It provides an important source of investment for national projects and as a result, Korea was able to become a prosperous country.
He added that the remittance by Bangladesh workers plays a significant role in economy. In order to dispatch more workers to Korea in the future, close look at the good example of Nepal.
Nepalese workers settle down in Korean society very well and work faithfully, so they have a very good reputation among employers. After returning home, overseas returning workers' meetings are very active.
