For the first agenda, the Ministry of Manpower aims to expand employment opportunities in the formal sector.
"It is time for Indonesia to gradually facilitate the opening of job opportunities in the formal sector so that Indonesian Migrant Workers who are placed are Migrant Workers who have adequate competence," Minister Fauziyah stated.
The Minister continued: "We consider that the competence of Indonesian Migrant Workers is a major part of self-defense, whereby having work competence, Indonesian Migrant Workers have protection for themselves."
The second agenda, Minister Fauziyah said that it is important for Indonesian Migrant Workers in Kuwait to know that the regulation in the form of Permenaker Number 4 of 2023 which is a replacement for Permenaker Number 18 of 2018 provides principles of comprehensive and affordable labor protection.
