India and Taiwan sign MoU to bring in Indian migrant workers to ease job shortage

India and Taiwan have signed an MoU on Migration and Mobility, allowing Indian workers to seek employment in the island country.

Taipei: In a major step to create employment opportunities and further strengthen bilateral ties between India and Taiwan, both countries on Friday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enable Indian migrant workers to find employment there. The MoU ensures mutual benefits for the compatriots of both countries, “creating a powerful momentum for even deeper and more fruitful cooperation.” Notably, the MoU was signed when the cash-strapped labor force in Taipei invited foreign workers beyond typical Southeast Asian sources.

“Taiwan-India relations are reaching a new high! The MOU on Facilitation of Employment for Indian Workers signed by @TWIndia2 Rep. Ger and @ita_taipei Rep Yadav,” Taiwan's Foreign Ministry posted from its official handle on X.
