Greece is struggling with staff shortage. To fulfil this deficiency, Greece has sought help from India. Apart from India, Greece is also in talks with Moldova and Georgia. The Immigration Ministry of Greece had announced that the deal regarding workers in India and Greece has almost been finalized.
According to Greece’s Migration Minister Dimitris Kairidis, 5 to 10 thousand workers from India will be taken to Greece. Same number of people will also go from Georgia and Moldova.
Pakistan Did Not Get Attention
Pakistan had also approached the Greek government to join this scheme of Greece, but the government ignored Pakistan’s request and did not give any reply. Pakistani people keep complaining every day that they are not allowed to work anywhere except in selected countries. People curse Pakistan’s foreign policy behind this.
Adonis Georgiadis, Greece’s Minister of Labor and Social Insurance, said, “Many people ask me which countries we are talking to bring workers to Greece. They are Georgia, India and Moldova. After this, the Philippines and Vietnam. And Armenia is also involved in this. Pakistan is not involved in this.”
Επειδή πολλοί με ρωτούν ποιες είναι οι Χώρες με τις οποίες διαπραγματευόμαστε Διακρατικές Συμφωνίες για εισαγωγή εργατικού δυναμικού είναι οι εξής: Γεωργία, Ινδία και Μολδαβός. Ακολουθούν οι Φιλιππίνες, το Βιετνάμ και η Αρμενία. Το Πακιστάν δεν είναι σε αυτές pic.twitter.com/TSxBfswG7G

‘We Want Peace-Loving People In Greece’
Migration Minister Dimitris Kairidis said, “There is a shortage of workers in Greece, especially in the agricultural sector. We want people who like peace and do their work peacefully.” He said, “We want our people working here not to talk about Turkey’s Islamist agenda. They should return to their countries from Greece once their visas expire. I am confident that Indian, Moldovan and Georgian workers will be a model of success. Will become.”
