During the discussion, the role of the Kyrgyz delegation at the upcoming International Migration Forum was also raised, which will be chaired by Annalena Baerbock, head of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly. The forum is scheduled to present a national report on the implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
As a result of the meeting, a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between the Ministry of Labor of Kyrgyzstan and the IOM Mission, which envisions the establishment of a new Pre-Departure Orientation and Reintegration Center (PDO&RC) in the city of Osh. This center will assist citizens in better navigating legal and safe employment opportunities, organizing training programs before departure, and conducting informational sessions, as well as focusing on the reintegration of returning migrants.
At the end of the meeting, Bermet Moldobaeva, head of the IOM mission, was awarded the "Medal for Cooperation" from the Ministry.
Furthermore, the parties noted the importance of further interaction between the Ministry and the IOM in implementing projects and initiatives aimed at improving the working conditions of migrants and protecting their rights, as well as strengthening international dialogue on migration.
