World Bangladeshi Network “BDGDC“
The Bangladeshi Global Diaspora Council is another ground breaking mechanism geared towards the facilitation of a more effective engagement between Bangladesh and the Diaspora. The Council will be established in January 2023. The concept of the Bangladeshi Global Diaspora Council evolved out of discussions with the existing Diaspora Advisory Board members and other stakeholders, including the Economic Growth Council, who agreed that there needed to be an expansion of the engagement within the Diaspora to include new and emerging regions where Bangladeshi reside. The Council will be an advisory and consultative body that will create pathways for increased engagement with the Bangladeshi Diaspora.
