The Bangladesh government has officially decided to establish a new diplomatic mission in Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, to strengthen economic ties and secure a foothold in the Caribbean nation's rapidly expanding labor market.

The decision was reached during a weekly meeting of the Council of Advisers held on Thursday at the Chief Adviser’s Office, chaired by Professor Muhammad Yunus.

The new mission will initially operate at the level of Charge d'Affaires or First Secretary.

To ensure fiscal efficiency, the government has directed that the necessary manpower for the Georgetown office be reassigned from existing Bangladeshi embassies and missions currently operating abroad.

This strategic move comes as Guyana experiences an unprecedented economic boom, recording a staggering growth rate of nearly 50% last year, driven largely by its burgeoning energy and infrastructure sectors.

By establishing a permanent diplomatic presence, Dhaka aims to facilitate the entry of Bangladeshi workers into Guyana's high-demand labor market and foster deeper bilateral cooperation in trade and manpower.

During the same session, the Council of Advisers also approved six ordinances and a new policy framework aimed at national reform.

Government officials noted that the mission in Guyana will serve as a vital gateway for Bangladesh to expand its economic footprint across the Caribbean and South American regions.
