ISLAMABAD - The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has offered Pakistan to give access to its labour market’s database, which would help boost export of Pakistani workforce to the former.

The initiative would provide Pakistan up-dated information of job opportunities in the UAE’s labour market, besides enabling it to train the workforce as per the market demand.
Zulfikar Bukhari informed his counterpart that Pakistan wanted to integrate a digital platform with the UAE for ensuring fair and transparent recruitment process, besides minimizing its cost. The country was ready to link its digital platform with the UAE, he added.
Both sides also agreed to activate the joint committee, which was formed for implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding recently signed to ensure the protection of Pakistani workers’ rights and resolving their legal job disputes in the Emirates.
It was also decided to prepare a three-year plan for recruitment of Pakistani workforce.
The Special Assistant said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government stood with its promise of providing respectable jobs to the youth at local and international level, adding the country’s economy was moving in the right direction under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
