Dear All, I believe that current Govt has ampule opportunity to bring Bangladesh closer to the world stage. Every time new govt is elected, they replace old consulars with new ones which is normal norm for any country. And this provides an extra ordinary opportunity to put new consulars who are business minded and has few expertise to bring more business or investment in Bangladesh with good networking with respectable host countries. Embassy should not be used only for issuing visa and passport. This is a old way of thinking, we live in 21st century and we need to be creative to bring most bucks from our resources/investment in various countries Embassies. I know there are lots of lobbying to get a post in USA, Canada, London and Australia Embassies, and AL Govt needs to pay attention how they can put more eligible people in those position who will have expertise and experiences to handle Bangladesh image and networking for more business and investment. I also like to urge AL Govt to put few NRBs in those positions if can be approved per Bangladesh Govt Protocol. This will be a win-win situation for both Bangladesh Govt and NRBs, since they will have more expertise and experiences about the host countries and how to develop image and approach big investment from their host countries. But these personnel (NRBs) have to go through tough vetting process, so Bangladesh interest can be uphold and respected. I like to urge AL Govt to reconsider this proposal for their and Bangladesh benefit to be effective and vibrant in the world economy. God Bless Bangladesh! Note: My suggestion does not mean current consulates are not up to their jobs but they may not be right fit to 21st Century challenges for Bangladesh. Regards, M. M.
