Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali today said the current global migration system is under strain and it requires a sound global system of governance for international migration.
Speaking at the inaugural session of the 9th Summit of Global Forum on Migration and Development in Dhaka, he also suggested the global migration system can be built upon the bedrocks provided by the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
A global migration governance compact should be embedded on the endowments linked to goal 16 of 2030 SDG, said in a statement.
Migration serves as an indispensable tool of economic, political, or social development, which is greatest at the extreme ends of the socioeconomic spectrum, it read.
“It is not just a technical or labour issue. It has long been a barograph of geopolitics.”
