India Approves Pact With Kuwait On Domestic Workers

The Indian cabinet has approved an agreement signed between India and Kuwait for co-operation on the recruitment of domestic workers, a move that will benefit over 300,000 Indians, Kuwait Times reported.

The memorandum of understanding provides a structured framework for co-operation on matters related to domestic workers and provides strengthened safeguards for Indian domestic workers including female workers in Kuwait, a statement said.

The pact is initially valid for a period of five years and incorporates a provision for automatic renewal.
