On spending a week in those selected zones, travellers will be allowed to move to any area of the country as the Embassy of the Kingdom of Thailand here will issue a press release in this regard.
During the meeting, Shahriar sought more political support from Thailand on the repatriation of Rohingyas into their homeland Myanmar.
Stressing on Thai cooperation for enhancing capacity building in the areas of agro-processing and health sector the state minister also hoped for more Thai investments in Bangladesh as investors can avail the opportunities offered by a market of more than 160 million people.
