The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working on developing ‘identical’ websites for all the Bangladesh missions abroad to ensure better services to the expatriates.

Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen inaugurated a two-day training session on management and maintenance of those identical websites for 78 Bangladesh missions abroad on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, earlier, directed that all government websites ought to be identical and uniform. The a2i is implementing the directives. The training session was organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the a2i of the ICT Division, the foreign ministry said.

The foreign secretary said with the development of identical websites, “integrity and immutability of data and services would be ensured”.

 He expressed hopes that through these identical websites, better services would be ensured by the Bangladesh missions abroad.

 “The expatriate Bangladeshis living abroad would receive necessary services more easily and as the representative of the Bangladesh government, the missions abroad would more effectively and more efficiently represent Bangladesh through this scheme of identical websites.”

 He instructed the concerned officials that the interface of the websites need to be user-friendly and must have a feature of evolution.

 A real-time feedback loop would help the websites evolve through time because there would be constant interaction between potential users and site developers, the foreign ministry said.
