Yemen, Egypt to exempt laborers from migrant stay fees

SANA'A, Oct 03 (Saba) – Egypt's minister of Workforce and Social Affairs Ayesha Abdel Hadi said Yemen had decided to exempt Egyptian laborers from migrant workers stay fees.

The state-run 26sep.net quoted Abdel Hadi as saying the move comes in response to
discussions that took place between the minister and Yemeni counterpart and other
officials during her last visit to the country two months ago.

She made clear that at a meeting with prime minister Ali Muhammad Mujawar the two
agreed that the two countries exempt Egyptian and Yemen laborers from immigrant stay
imposed fees.

She hailed the Yemeni quick response and decisions that as she says will help
encourage the movement of workforce between the two countries.

She said that the step marked the culmination of the bilateral relationship between
the two countries, adding the future will witness further cooperation on all fronts
particularly on labor.

She said delegations and committees from both sides will exchange visits to swap
experiences and discuss issues in relation to professional training and safety as
well as group negotiations.
