Dhaka: Labour and Employment Minister Ariful Haque Choudhury today emphasised the need to strengthen labour-management relations to effectively address the challenges facing the current government. ‘We need to find new labour markets.

There is no other vision than work,’ he said while addressing a meeting with representatives of the Bangladesh Employers Federation at the conference room of the ministry.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, State Minister for Labour and Employment Md Nurul Haque was present at the meeting.
