This will enable foreign acceptance of necessary certificates attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in DhakaThe government has moved to ease the pain of travelling to New Delhi for certificate verification for countries without an embassy in Bangladesh. With the new arrangement under the Apostille Convention, which includes 126 member countries, the foreign ministry's attestation will be sufficient, eliminating the need to visit foreign embassies in other countries. Typically, students first get their documents attested by the education ministry, followed by attestation from the foreign ministry. For countries without embassies in Dhaka, we currently need to go to New Delhi for certificate verification, which is quite cumbersome. After the foreign ministry raised the issue, the cabinet responded positively and approved it.
