A new bilateral labor agreement enables Greece to recruit thousands of Bangladeshi workers yearly, addressing labor demand in Greece and expanding overseas employment opportunities for Bangladesh.
Greece has officially entered into a bilateral labor agreement with Bangladesh that provides for the hiring of 4,000 Bangladeshi workers annually. This agreement aims to fulfill Greece’s growing demand for labor while offering structured overseas employment opportunities for Bangladeshi nationals. The recruitment is expected to cover sectors identified by the Greek government as facing workforce shortages, facilitating legal and regulated migration pathways. Authorities from both countries have emphasized the importance of protecting migrant workers’ rights and ensuring transparent recruitment processes as part of the agreement’s implementation. This move is also seen as part of Greece’s broader strategy to manage labor needs amid demographic shifts and to strengthen bilateral relations with Bangladesh. The collaboration reflects ongoing efforts in the region to promote safe, orderly, and regular migration aligned with economic development.
