July 9, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has said after meeting Uzbekistan\u2019s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev today in Minsk that he invited migrant workers from Uzbekistan to come to Belarus with their families, the Belarusian ruler\u2019s press office reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBelarus needs people, preferably from Uzbekistan,\u201d news.by<\/em> quoted him as saying. \u201cWe like Uzbeks here, so I would like to see more of your people come here with their families, even more than Pakistanis. In the agricultural sector, we provide housing, free education and healthcare, the same conditions we offer Belarusians. In cities, you may need to wait a little longer, but housing will become available.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year ago, \u0141uka\u0161enka and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif discussed a mechanism to bring up to 150,000 Pakistani workers to address labor shortages exacerbated by emigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in March, Pakistan\u2019s Emigration and Employment Office removed all Belarus-related construction jobs from its website after no applications had been submitted for four months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
