DHAKA: New opportunities in Saudi Arabia’s mega-projects, tourism, and healthcare sectors will be available for skilled Bangladeshis under a recently signed labor deal, the Kingdom’s ambassador said, expecting up to 300,000 openings in the coming months. About 3.6 million Bangladeshis live and work in Saudi Arabia, sending home over $5 billion every year. They have been joining the Saudi labor market since the 1970s and are the largest expat group in the Kingdom and the largest Bangladeshi community outside Bangladesh.
