Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain said that the embassy will try to issue 20,000 visas among those who are hoping to go to Italy by the middle of next December.

He told reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday (October 8).

The adviser said about the return of expatriates from Lebanon, those who want to return from Lebanon have been asked to list. They have been told to withdraw from the war zone. We have requested the IOM to arrange flights so that they can come.

Regarding Sheikh Hasina, the Foreign Affairs Advisor said, I have seen on various social media that Sheikh Hasina has gone to Ajman in the United Arab Emirates. Delhi and Abu Dhabi are being searched for his whereabouts. Still we are not sure about his leaving India.

Regarding the Awami League ministers, MPs and leaders who fled to India, he said that travel passes can be issued if the fugitives want to return to India. If the court asks to bring it back then that initiative will be taken.
