Islamabad and Doha Collaborate on Employment
His Excellency Mr. Shaukat Salik Hussain, Minister of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development, affirmed that Islamabad and Doha are looking forward to building a sustainable strategic partnership in the fields of employment and human resource development. The partnership aims to establish a "Human Resources Corridor" that goes beyond traditional employment, relying on accredited skills and responsible mobility to serve Qatar's development goals through 2030. Meetings with Qatari officials resulted in an agreement to adopt an institutional cooperation mechanism, establish a regular working group to coordinate on skilled labor needs, facilitate recruitment procedures, and develop accredited training programs to ensure workforce quality and organized responsible mobility. Emphasis will also be placed on improving immigration systems and pre-departure orientation. Furthermore, both parties seek to expand cooperation in strategic sectors such as energy, healthcare, tourism, and services, with the adoption of shared qualification standards to ensure the quality of labor. The minister noted that Pakistan has implemented regulatory reforms to guarantee legal and safe migration, including a licensing and monitoring system, mandatory training courses for workers before departure, and the development of passport and immigration systems to support responsible mobility between the two countries.
