1. The Foreign Ministry lifted on September 19 the special travel alert that it had issued for entire Bangladesh.

2. Although the special travel alert has been lifted, the Travel-alert Levels for the Chittagong Hill Tracts region and other parts of Bangladesh -- Levels 3 (Travel Restricted) and 2 (Highly Cautious), respectively -- will be back in place, as the public security situation in those areas remains the same as before.

3. The nationals of the Republic of Korea residing in or planning to visit Bangladesh are advised to check the Travel-alert Levels for different parts of Bangladesh at the Foreign Ministry’s website on safe overseas travel at http://www.0404.go.kr and follow the guidelines.
