MINSK, 12 April (BelTA) – Belarus will apply a differentiated approach to attracting migrant workers from Pakistan, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he spoke with journalists during the national clean-up day on 12 April, BelTA has learned.
The head of state mentioned the recent arrangements to bring in migrant workers from Pakistan. The day before, during the official negotiations with the leader of Pakistan at the Palace of Independence, Aleksandr Lukashenko said that Belarus was ready to take in up to 150,000 specialists from Pakistan.
According to the president, Belarus will apply a selective approach. “Belarus is primarily interested in specialists, not just young people. And it will be better if they come with their families. If a family comes, they will work,” the head of state said.
The president remarked that Pakistani specialists are much needed at the Baranovichi Cotton Production Association. The Belarusian side is currently analyzing how many specialists the enterprise needs and what skill sets they need to possess. “We will offer them the same terms as Belarusians have,” Aleksandr Lukashenko noted. The Belarusian side will provide assistance with accommodation to migrants from Pakistan who will be willing to work in the domestic agricultural industry.
