- Saudi Arabia: Monday, April 29 - 2013 at 02:10
A delegation led by India's Overseas Indian Affairs minister Vayalar Ravi has conveyed concerns to Saudi labour minister Adel Fakieh over possible job losses to a large number of Indians in the kingdom due to its new labour law, PTI has reported. The Nitaqat system makes it mandatory for Saudi firms to hire one Saudi national for every 10 migrant workers. The world's top oil exporter has more than nine million expatriates, whose remittances home provide important revenue for countries including Yemen, India, Pakistan and the Philippines. Over two million Indians are currently working in Saudi Arabia.
