Japan Denies Agreement to Accept 100,000 Bangladeshi Workers Annually
Japan has denied social media claims that it agreed to accept 100,000 Bangladeshi workers annually during the Japan-Bangladesh summit on October 27. Japanese Foreign Press Secretary Kitamura Toshihiro clarified that no such recruitment deal or fixed quota exists. The summit focused on strengthening economic cooperation, investment, and regional security, with no mention of specific worker recruitment targets. Japan's foreign worker system depends on employer demand and eligibility criteria rather than country-specific quotas.
