Dear readers,
Assalamu Alikum.
I welcome you all to the web site of the Bangladesh Embassy in the State of Kuwait. This is the first website of our Embassy. We have designe1il in such a way that you get the ideas and actual information of the day to day affairs of our Embassy. Also how you can get your required services without any delay. We believe this web site will act as a connector between the Embassy and Bangladesh nationals living in Kuwait, also between Bangladesh and Kuwait.
Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the then Prime Minister met the Head of Government of the State of Kuwait in NAM Summit held in Algiers in 1973. The outcome of the above meeting, Kuwait recognized Bangladesh in November 1973 and Bangladesh opened its Embassy in Kuwait in April 1974.
More than two hundred thousand people from Bangladesh are now employed in various public and private sectors in Kuwait. Many of them are having various problems and we are working round the clock to solve any problem being faced by our community people. We earnestly request every single member of the community to discharge his duties honestly and sincerely, to abide by the law of the land in order to win the heart and mind of our Kuwaiti brothers who have supported Bangladesh in her every cause. Whenever you face any difficulty, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will try to help you to get you out of your distress, inshallah.
Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina paid a state visit to Kuwait from 07-09 February 2010 at the invitation of His Highness the Amir of Kuwait. As a consequence of her visit, Kuwait allowed transfer of Aqama and more than thirty thousand Bangladeshis have been able to change their Aqama since then. Inshallah, in cooperation with the Government of Kuwait, we will be able to solve other problems.
We will upgrade the website as and when required. You may share your thoughts and ideas with us.
May Allah bless us all.
