He said, the biggest problem of the embassy and consulate is the telephone. Expatriate Bangladeshis call and wait for a long time. No one answers the telephone. The reality is that we receive an average of 4 calls per minute. Can't handle it together. But now it is trying to improve it by applying modern technology.
