He further said that Saudi-Bangladesh relations grew stronger
after the visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to the Kingdom in 2016 and
meeting with the King of Saudi Arabia, King Salman Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud.
Reportedly, around 2.6 million Bangladeshis are working in
KSA. He said that the Kingdom has always supported these labourers. Bangladesh
