UNB, Dhaka :
The agreement between Bangladesh and Malaysia on the ‘partial abolition of visa requirement for diplomatic and official passports’ came into effect on Thursday.
This deal will remain in force for five years from the date of enforcing, and it will be automatically extended for another five years, according to the Foreign Ministry here.
Citizens of one country having in possession of valid diplomatic or official passports may enter other country without a visa and stay for a period not exceeding 30 days.
The agreement was signed on December 3, 2014 in Putrajaya during Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s visit to Malaysia. Both Bangladesh and Malaysia completed all the formalities of ratification of the agreement by September 2015.
Implementation of the agreement will facilitate increased contact between political and functional levels of Bangladesh and Malaysia and thus help enhance bilateral relations further.
“This is an emblem of deep and cordial bilateral relation existing between Bangladesh and Malaysia,” said the Foreign Ministry.
