He made the remark when the Bangladesh High Commission in Kuala Lumpur observed International Migrants Day and National Expatriates Day 2025 under the theme "Going abroad with skills, building the homeland with remittances", according to a message received in Dhaka, reported Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS).
The programme included reading out messages from the chief adviser, the foreign adviser and the Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment adviser, followed by the screening of a documentary produced to mark the day.
To recognise expatriates' contributions and encourage their greater engagement in national development, the High Commission organised a discussion meeting, documentary screening, awards ceremony for expatriate Bangladeshis, a cultural programme and a raffle draw at the G Tower hall in Kuala Lumpur.
Presiding over the event, Chowdhury expressed gratitude to expatriate Bangladeshis for strengthening the national economy through remittances and skills.
The high commissioner also said effective arrangements have been made under initiatives of the interim government to enable expatriates to exercise their voting rights in the upcoming national parliamentary election.
He urged Bangladeshis living in Malaysia to participate through postal ballots and called upon expatriate professional, social and political organisations to assist in voter registration.
Marking the occasion, the High Commission honoured 23 individuals and institutions from different categories among expatriates living in Malaysia with commemorative crests and certificates.
