Abu Dhabi: Vayalar Ravi, Indian Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs, had a luncheon meeting with Saqr Ghobash Saeed Ghobash, the UAE Minister of Labour, on Thursday.
The ministers noted the excellent contribution being made by Indian workers in the UAE in the development of various projects and applauded their high sense of discipline and dedication.
The two ministers also reviewed various aspects of recruitment and contracting of Indian workers and discussed ways in which the present system could be improved for the benefit of the workers.
The UAE Minister conveyed to the Indian Minister his ministry's commitment to systematically upgrading the living and working conditions of all workers in the UAE.
They agreed that a grievance redressal mechanism consisting of officials from the embassy and the Ministry of Labour would be set up in the near future so that labour-related issues could be quickly examined and disposed of.
