Kuwaiti Fm Reaffirms Care For Expatriates
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Wednesday the expatriate workers in Kuwait enjoy care and appreciation. The affairs relating to their stay and work contracts are governed by the relevant rules of law, Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah told reporters during a reception held by Indian Embassy in Kuwait to celebrate the Republic Day of India.
Citing the annual review reports that praise Kuwait’s human right records, he said the country addresses the issues of foreign expats in “a candid and transparent way that preserves their rights” as per the provisions of law. “These issues as well as the recent incident do not affect the country’s humanitarian fame,” Al- Jarallah said. “The huge expatriate community in Kuwait, including nearly 276,000 from the Philippines, testifies to the care and stability enjoyed by the expats.
;“The Filipino workers enjoy comfortable conditions that guarantee their rights regardless of the recent unjustifiable fuss,” he pointed out. On behalf of Kuwait, Al-Jarallah expressed regret over the comments, recently made by President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte on the Filipino workers in Kuwait. The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry made its point clear to the Filipino authorities regarding the reported cases and demanded evidence of any cases but they failed to produce any, he revealed.
Asked whether Kuwait plans to amend the provisions of the labor law, particularly those relating to domestic workers, Al- Jarallah said the current law is modern and won praise of the competent international organization. He affirmed that the countries that have large expatriate communities in Kuwait were informed that their nationals are held in high esteem and enjoy care and respect. He ruled out any tendency to suspend residency of any Filipino workers.
