DHAKA, Aug 02, 2026 (BSS) - Mohammad Rashedul Haque has assumed office as the

(BOESL). 

He was appointed to the post on a contractual basis with Grade-2 status 
through a notification issued by the Ministry of Public Administration on 
July 23. 

He formally took charge on July 30, succeeding outgoing Managing Director Md 
Saiful Islam.

Hailed from Madaripur, Rashedul Haque obtained both his bachelor's and 
master's degrees from the Department of Information Science and Library 
Management at Dhaka University.

He spent more than 17 years in Australia, gaining extensive experience in 
international communication, multicultural work environments, and engagement

He previously served as International Affairs Secretary of the Bangladesh 
Nationalist Party (BNP) and as Special Assistant to the BNP Chairperson's 
Advisory Committee on Foreign Affairs. 

After assuming office, he pledged to ensure safe, legal, transparent, and 
cost-effective overseas employment in line with the policies of the Ministry 
of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment. 

He emphasized that BOESL will prioritize sending more skilled workers abroad. 

"Making BOESL a more effective and modern institution by sending safe, 
disciplined, and skilled manpower overseas to contribute to the country's 
economic development will be one of my key goals," he said. 

To achieve these objectives, he sought cooperation from the ministry, 
government and private institutions, development partners, Bangladesh 
missions abroad, international stakeholders, and the media. 

On the occasion, BOESL officials and employees congratulated the new MD.

Since its inception, the organization has played a vital role in creating 
safe, legal, and low-cost employment opportunities abroad and in sending 
skilled manpower to various countries, thereby contributing significantly to 
the overseas employment sector.
