Pakistan is set to export both skilled and unskilled labor to Bahrain’s rapidly growing construction sector, following a new agreement between the two countries. The deal is expected to provide job opportunities for thousands of Pakistani workers and support Bahrain’s ambitious infrastructure development plans.
Bahrain’s construction sector is experiencing a boom, fueled by large-scale projects such as the development of new cities, commercial complexes, and housing schemes. To meet the increasing demand for labor, the Bahraini government has turned to Pakistan, which has a well-established labor force with a range of skills, from general laborers to engineers, electricians, and construction managers.
The initiative is seen as a win-win for both countries, offering Pakistani workers employment opportunities abroad while helping Bahrain meet its labor requirements. Pakistan’s government has expressed its commitment to facilitating the process by ensuring the smooth issuance of visas and offering pre-departure training for workers to meet the specific needs of the construction sector.
Labor experts believe this collaboration will not only ease the labor shortage in Bahrain but also improve the economic conditions in Pakistan by remittances sent back by workers. The project is expected to bolster ties between the two nations, with further agreements likely in the future as both countries look to expand their labor exchanges.
