EU Ambassador Charles Whiteley recently paid a farewell call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her
official residence, Ganabhaban.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said Bangladesh will become a homeless and landless-free country
after the distribution of only 11,000 homes.
"We're only 11,000 homes away from making Bangladesh as a homeless and landless-free country," she
said.
The EU ambassador said that EU will continue extending cooperation to Bangladesh for its flawless
graduation from the Least Developed Country (LDC).
He told the Premier that he will be stationed in Brussels in his next assignment and there, he will work
on Indo-Pacific region and that is why he will keep in touch with Bangladesh.
Regarding the launching of "Talent Partnership", the envoy said that this scheme would open the doors
of immigration to the EU countries in a legal way as Bangladeshi skilled and qualified people would avail
themselves of the opportunities and get legal work permits.
He said the immigrants could return home after 4/5 years, so there would be no issue of brain drain.
