Pakistan’s PM eager to promote labor migration to Belarus

April 14, Pozirk. Pakistan is ready to send to Belarus 150,000 skilled Pakistani youth to be selected based on merit, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif commented on his recent two-day visit to Belarus.
Pakistanis working abroad send remittances of billions of dollars every year and these sums have considerably grown this year, the Associated Press of Pakistan reported, citing the prime minister.
His comments come three days after Belarusian and Pakistani top officials discussed a mechanism to bring Pakistani migrant workers to Belarus during talks in Minsk.
Belarusian state-run media quoted Alaksandar Łukašenka as saying at his meeting with Sharif that “there are many people in Pakistan who can and want to work in Belarus.”
Minsk is interested in attracting skilled workers along with their families, Łukašenka noted later, listing the Viciebsk, Homiel and Mahiloŭ regions as potential locations to receive the Pakistani workforce and promising them equal conditions with Belarusian workers.
More than 200,000 workers left Belarus from 2018-2023, according to the Cyberpartisans hacktivist group. Labor shortages caused by emigration persist due to a politically-motivated crackdown that continues since the disputed 2020 presidential election.
