Dhaka: Bangladesh has finalised its National Action Plan (NAP) for the Global Compact for Migration (GCM). The soft adoption of the GCM NAP underscores Bangladesh's strong commitment to safe, orderly, and regular migration and to protecting the rights of migrants, said International Organization for Migration (IOM), Bangladesh.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the NAP was finalised following a multi-stakeholder consultation on Monday. The Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment's Senior Secretary, along with Foreign Affairs Secretary Asad Alam Siam, co-chaired the consultation meeting.
The process brought together line ministries, civil society, development partners, the private sector, and migrant communities, ensuring that the GCM NAP is practical, nationally owned, and grounded in real needs. With guidance from the Bangladesh Migration Compact Taskforce, IOM - UN Migration provided technical support throughout the drafting process.
