However, there was something that came out of the meeting. Facebook did agree to appoint a local representative for Bangladesh. They will probably do it within the next 4 to 6 weeks in order to ensure VAT and government revenues from the advertisement earnings.

Senior officials from Telecommunication Ministry, Bangladesh Bank, and law enforcing agencies were also present at the meeting.  They requested the social media giant to ensure a process to register customers for security issues.

Other issues were also discussed in the meeting. In the meeting, government officials discussed security issues as they showed some duplicated accounts and asked Facebook to do something about the situation.

The main reason why Bangladesh government invited Facebook was to set up an office in the capital. But from the looks of it, ‘Facebook Bangladesh Office’ is something that may take a while. Keep a close eye on Facebook and let’s see what happens in the future.
