ZH article –  A bit more clarity below – Japan has not explicitly ‘invited’ Bangladeshi Migrants, just that a Professor in Bangladesh of Japanese Studies mentioned them as a resource.

The Japanese government has set a target to recruit 8.20 lakh foreign workers across 16 sectors under the SSW category by March 2029.

“Experts and officials believe that if Bangladesh prepares effectively, it can supply up to 40 percent of this demand that is more than 300,000 workers.

Citing a report recently published in The Japan Times, the labour welfare wing of the Bangladesh Embassy in Tokyo stated that Japan aims to recruit around 1.2 million (12 lakh) foreign workers under both the Employment Skill Development (ESD) and SSW categories by March 2029.

Long-term projections suggest that Japan may require up to 11 million (1.1 crore) foreign workers by 2040.

By nationality, Chinese topped the list of foreign residents in Japan at 930,000. Vietnamese came second at around 681,000, followed by South Koreans at around 407,000.  Japan also had around 356,000 Filipinos and around 300,000 Nepalese. Sri Lankans, at around 79,000, ranked ninth, up from 12th place in 2024.  Known for its strict immigration policy, Japan has been gradually opening its doors to foreign workers in recent years as the country faces labor shortages due to the aging of society.

 Does it seem coincidental that every country with a Central Bank (with the exception of China and Russia), are seeking to dilute/replace their native population base – it’s almost as if their ‘elected’ leadership have no stake in national sovereignty.
