Bangladesh has urged European countries to relocate their visa processing centers for its citizens from New Delhi

In a notable diplomatic development amid the ongoing tensions between India and Bangladesh, Prof Muhammad Yunus, the head of Bangladesh’s interim government, has urged European nations to relocate their visa processing centers for Bangladeshi citizens from New Delhi. Currently, many European countries have their visa centers situated in New Delhi, and Yunus has proposed that these facilities be moved to Dhaka or to a neighboring country.

“Transferring visa offices to Dhaka or a nearby nation would be advantageous for both Bangladesh and the European Union,” Yunus stated during discussions with diplomats.

This appeal was made during a meeting held at his office in Tejgaon, Dhaka, which included representatives from over 19 European countries, both based in Dhaka and New Delhi.
