ISLAMABAD: In an order to boost the remittances, Pakistan is planning to send nearly 100,000 skilled workers to Kuwait, for which a formal request has been made with the concerned authorities,
According to the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development, “A formal request to this effect has been forwarded to the authorities concerned in Kuwait and reply is still awaited.”
A ministry official informed that Pakistan had great workforce potential in all trades and the government was exploring new avenues to create jobs for skilled manpower in different countries.
“The government had also stepped up efforts for early signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Pakistan and Kuwait for enhancing and streamlining Pakistani manpower export to the country,” he added.
A few days earlier, PM’s Special Assistant Sayed Zulfikar Abbas Bukhari held a meeting with the Labour Minister of Kuwait on the sidelines of 5th Ministerial Session of Abu Dhabi Dialogue (ADD).
In this regard, the ministry official informed that Pakistani workers, even without the signing of a state-to-state MoU between Pakistan and Kuwait, could go to Kuwait for employment under employer-employee agreement.
