Kuala lumpur: Former Bangladesh envoy to Malaysia and Italy Md. Shameem Ahsan today called upon Bangladeshi nationals to avoid dangerous migration routes to Italy or any other country, emphasizing the importance of safe and regular migration. ‘No Bangladeshi in the future should try to migrate through such risky routes, whether it is in Italy or any other country,’ Ahsan stated in a video message shared on the official page of the Bangladesh mission in Kuala Lumpur, drawing on his experience as Bangladesh’s former Ambassador to Italy and Malaysia.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Ahsan highlighted that safe migration ensures dignity, security, and opportunity for all while protecting vulnerable individuals from exploitation and trafficking. He pointed out that the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been collaborating with the Bangladesh High Commission in Malaysia to promote safe and regular migration through strategic partnerships and public outreach.
IOM’s awareness initiatives in Malaysia aim to equip Bangladeshi migrants with reliable information, empowering them to make informed and safe choices in their migration journey. Through these joint efforts, IOM and the Bangladesh High Commission in Malaysia seek to protect migrants from falling victim to traffickers and ensure that Bangladeshi workers abroad can pursue opportunities with dignity and security.
