The ministry of labour of the Emirates will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian government soon to safeguard the rights of Indian workers in the UAE.

Indian ambassador to the UAE M K Lokesh told TOI over phone from Abu Dhabi on Wednesday: "We are awaiting a formal date of approval from the UAE side and it should happen soon."

Union minister for overseas Indian affairs Vayalar Ravi, who is in the UAE, met Saqr Gobash, UAE minister for labour, to discuss the modalities of the MoU and amendment to an existing agreement pertaining to labour issues. "I have invited the UAE labour minister to New Delhi to sign the agreement and he has agreed. We need amendments to the MoUs already signed in this regard," Ravi said.

"The new MoU will further protect the rights of Indian housemaids working in the UAE with revised wages and deposits against hiring them. We are considering revision of their wages soon," he added.

Indian workers in 17 countries across the world are benefiting from the newly created 'community welfare fund'. Based on request from various Indian missions, it has been extended to 42 other countries, he said.
