Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today urged the Prime Minister of Thailand, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, to ease visa procedures for the Bangladeshi citizens travelling to the South East Asian kingdom.
The head of the Interim Government raised the issue when he met the Thai Prime Minister on the sidelines of the BIMSTEC Summit in Bangkok.
The Chief Adviser said the Thai Embassy in Dhaka does not have the capacity to process more visas, resulting in a long delay and queue of the Bangladeshi people waiting to travel to Thailand.
“Bangladeshi people who seek treatment in Thailand face a lot of visa difficulties,” Prof Yunus said, seeking the Thai Prime Minister’s support in this regard.
Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra assured the Bangladesh leader that she would look into the issue.
The Chief Adviser also called for expanded trade, shipping and maritime relations and air connectivity between the two countries.বিস্তারিত
