The Ambassador attentively listened to the community’s grievances, and provided assurance that the Embassy is committed to addressing them. He expressed his sincere appreciation for the public's feedback, highlighting its crucial role in enhancing the Embassy's services, transparency, accountability, and responsiveness, while also noting ongoing efforts to raise awareness on important aspects of local life within the Bangladeshi community in Bahrain.

The Bangladeshi expatriate community was invited to attend the Open House through a notice on the Embassy's verified Facebook page to directly voice their queries, concerns, and complaints to His Excellency the Ambassador, who provided immediate responses and solutions. Later, the community was advised to send their problems in writing to the embassy for follow-up and resolution.
