International initiatives
The ministry led a number of international initiatives in partnership with the ILO. These included recognizing that migrant workers were temporary workers through concluding memorandums of undertanding to this effect. They also included adopting and publicising the 'International convention on temporary migration of expatriate workers in the world' aimed at recognizing the concept of temporary labor through concluding memorandums of understanding.
Based on its futuristic studies regulating the international labor market between labor-receiving countries and labor-exporting countries, the ministry is studying the future of managing online transactions between the UAE and the labor-exporting countries to be the first of its kind through the use of technology for the governance of labor mobility.
