Russian Ambassador to Tajikistan Igor Lyakin-Frolov said that Russia and Tajikistan will soon sign new agreements in the field of migration. The documents will be signed during the upcoming official visit of the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon to Moscow on April 17.
During the visit, the head of Tajikistan will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. It is also planned to sign a number of bilateral agreements aimed at the further development of multilateral cooperation between the two countries.
Earlier , during his visit to Tajikistan on February 5, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that this package of documents is necessary in order to completely remove migration from the shadows, to provide comfort to the labor migrants.
Meanwhile, according to a source in the Tajik Ministry of Labor, the draft agreement on the organized recruitment of migrants between Russia and Tajikistan suggests that the Russian employer, included in the special list of the Ministry of Labor, is obliged to send applications to employment agencies for one or another specialist, as well as inform about problems with the registration of documents.
In turn, according to the project, the authorities of Tajikistan will have to inform their citizens about employment opportunities in the Russian Federation in safe and secure places, select candidates for the vacancy, provide them with professional training, and also facilitate the return of migrants home after the expiration of the contract or violation of Russian legislation.
About one million migrants from Tajikistan work in Russia. According to various sources, their transfers account for more than one third of Tajikistan’s GDP.
