Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission Bakytzhan Sagintayev held a working meeting with the Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Geneva on November 1 Amy Pope.

During the talks, the parties discussed promising areas of cooperation in the migration sphere, in particular, on regulating the flow of labor resources in the Eurasian space.

Bakytzhan Sagintayev said that this year the Commission joined the work of the IOM Global Network on the development of policies and strategies for ethical hiring.

 

“The Eurasian region has a high migration attractiveness. We are interested in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration in a number of relevant areas,” the Chairman of the Board noted.

 

The EEC is interested in international experience in the field of recognition of professional skills of migrant workers based on comparability of qualifications. The Commission annually draws up a List of the most demanded positions and professions in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. Qualification requirements are accepted for the professions included in the List.

Amy Pope expressed interest in studying this List and stressed that it is necessary to use the opportunities that open up for future cooperation in the field of employment, in particular, to create a special joint program.

An important area is also cooperation within the framework of regional and global IOM projects, which are being implemented, including in the EAEU countries.

 

“We propose to consider the possibility of developing and launching a pilot project aimed at improving the financial literacy of migrant workers in the Eurasian Economic Union,” Bakytzhan Sagintayev said.

 

During the working meeting, the parties noted the importance of deepening cooperation between the two international organizations and agreed to update the Memorandum of Cooperation between the Eurasian Economic Commission and the International Organization for Migration dated 2013.

Following the talks, Bakytzhan Sagintayev and Amy Pope agreed to continue working contacts and develop practical cooperation.
