Labor legislation protects Kyrgyz citizens and Pakistani citizens equally, says Ministry of Labor

Minister of Labor, Social Security, and Migration Kudaibergen Sagybaev held a meeting with Khan Altamas Vazir, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the Kyrgyz Republic. The talks focused on labor and migration issues, including the legal status of Pakistani citizens in Kyrgyzstan.

As emphasized by the ministry, the labor laws of the Kyrgyz Republic apply equally to all workers, regardless of citizenship. This means that Pakistani citizens working in the country have the same labor rights and guarantees as citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic.

In the event of a violation of labor rights, foreign workers have the right to apply to the Service for Control and Supervision of Compliance with Labor Legislation to protect their legitimate interests.

The parties also discussed the prospects for developing Kyrgyz-Pakistani cooperation in the field of labor migration and improving the mechanisms for interaction between relevant state bodies. Following the meeting, the parties confirmed their readiness to further develop bilateral contacts.
