DUSHANBE, July 5, Asia-Plus — Kazakhstan’s thriving economy needs foreign skilled specialists, including skilled builders from Tajikistan, Kazakhstan’s Ambassador to Tajikistan, Mr. Abutalip Akhmetov, remarked at a press conference in Dushanbe on July 5.
According to him, quite a lot of specialists from different countries are currently working in Kazakhstan. He noted that good experience of Tajik specialists in construction could be demanded in Kazakhstan. However, he found it difficult to say how many labor migrants from Tajikistan are currently working in Kazakhstan.
“It is difficult to say how many Tajik nationals are currently working in Kazakhstan,” said Akhmetov, “According to our laws, Tajik nationals may stay in Kazakhstan without visas for 30 days, and therefore, it is difficult to say how many of them are labor migrants and how many are tourists.”
Kazakh diplomat added that there are no any specific quotas for migrants in Kazakhstan, and labor resources are recruited depending on requirements of economic entities themselves.
