Foreign Ministry and Foreign Employment Bureau team up to step up efforts to assist Sri Lankans in the Middle East
Sri Lanka Missions in the Middle East have reported that the welfare measures for migrant workers in the Middle East have received an added boost this week following the decision by the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) to make available resources from the Worker’s Welfare Fund, originally confined to those registered with the Bureau, to all migrant workers irrespective of their registration status, to units within Sri Lanka Missions abroad in 16 stations. This is in addition to funds already allocated by the Foreign Ministry and services provided by missions in collaborations with local Sri Lankan associations and religious establishments across the world in 67 cities.
