AKIPRESS.COM - Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia have agreed to expand organized labor recruitment following a visit to the Kingdom by Migration Agency head Bekhzod Musaev.

The two nations will establish a joint working group to place Uzbek workers in the healthcare, tourism, construction, and engineering sectors.

To meet Saudi Arabia's revised skill-based visa requirements, Uzbekistan plans to introduce international-standard training programs and qualification exams for prospective employees.

This agreement builds on previous cooperation regarding seasonal labor and aligns with Uzbekistan’s broader strategy to expand legal employment opportunities abroad.
