The head of the Kuwaiti Federation of Domestic Labor Offices Khaled Al-Dakhnan called for the urgent signing of the labor agreement with Ethiopia.
Al-Dakhnan told a local Arabic daily that the Ethiopian Ambassador to Kuwait has confirmed during a recent meeting that Addis Ababa has agreed to the Kuwaiti terms of the agreement, and that they were waiting for the invitation to sign the agreement.
Al-Dakhnan pointed out that the return of the recruitment of Ethiopian workers will contribute significantly to reducing the prices of new contracts for domestic workers.
He mentioned that the contracts that will be signed from Ethiopia will be less than what is currently available in the labor market in terms of cost and monthly salaries.
In turn, the Federation’s advisor, Abdulaziz Al-Ali told the daily that contacts were made with officials in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Public Authority for Manpower regarding the urgency to sign the agreement with the Ethiopian side.
Al-Ali pointed out that the Kuwaiti and Ethiopian parties agreed on some points and they were completed and submitted to the Legal Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which we hope will speed up its work and sign the agreement, indicating that the Ethiopian labor that will be brought to Kuwait will be with sufficient experience and training.
