Bangladesh Embassy in Bangkok has facilitated repatriation of 68 Bangladeshi, Indian and Thai nationals from Thailand to Bangladesh by a special Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight.

The flight was arranged on a self-payment basis in line with Bangladesh government's commitment to extend all possible assistance and support to stranded Bangladeshis abroad.

The flight arrived at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Saturday, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday.

Ambassador of Bangladesh to Thailand Mohammed Abdul Hye thanked the Thai government for extending their cooperation.  Since the Covid-19 outbreak last year, the Bangladesh embassy has so far facilitated 16 special flights from Bangkok to Dhaka.
