Minister of Human Resources and Social Development signs MoC with Philippine Secretary of Migrant Workers

Riyadh– Minister of Human Resources and Social Development, Eng. Ahmed bin Sulaiman Al-Rajhi, signed today a memorandum of cooperation (MOC) with the secretary of the Philippines Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Susan Ople, on the resumption of sending Filipino workers, including domestic workers, to the Kingdom as of November 7, 2022.

The memorandum comes as a continuation of the bilateral and historical relations between the Kingdom and the Philippines, and an extension of the permanent cooperation between the two countries in many economic aspects.

It also reflects the compatibility of the two sides’ vision in protecting the human rights aspects of workers, which the Filipino side praised for its development in the Saudi labor market in return for the initiatives and substantial reforms witnessed by the market that led to strengthening the protection of migrant workers per the fundamental and technical principles of ILO and the UN Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
