Manpower Minister Mohamed Saafan conferred on Tuesday with Head of the Egyptian community in Paris Saleh Farhoud on means of boosting co-operation to follow up on conditions of Egyptian workers in France.
Saafan said that the government was keen on outlining a new mechanism to provide workers abroad with due social care.
In a statement released yesterday following the meeting, Saafan called for involving Egyptian workers abroad in reconstituting the boards of the Egyptian communities through holding elections so as to shoulder their responsibilities and defend the workers’ rights.
He stressed the need for standing against fake unions which claim to defend workers rights and name figures to protect the members of the Egyptian community in any country.
Meanwhile, Farhoud praised the role of the Manpower Ministry in taking care of the rights of the Egyptian nationals, restoring their rights and solving their problems in co-operation with the Egyptian embassies and consulates abroad.
He called on the ministry to beef up its contacts with the members of the Egyptian communities abroad to get briefed on their conditions and set up a database for them.
The minister presented a souvenir to the head of the Egyptian community to cherish the Egyptian industry and appreciate the efforts and work of the Egyptian nationals in France and other world countries.
