On the occasion, UAE Minister Awar expressed his commitment to establish skill development training centres and help build competent human resources by investing in capacity building. UAE also promised to support Nepal to establish a labourer’s hospital.
The ministers also discussed the issues regarding social security, workforce safety, health and insurance, and a pay hike for Nepali workers in the UAE.
