THE Philippines and Kuwait will start Tuesday their talks to review the bilateral labor agreement amidst a diplomatic row caused by the Philippine deployment ban on first-time domestic workers and Kuwait’s sweeping visa suspension to all Filipinos.
“These are exploratory talks which will eventually lead to a long lasting solution. At least we are talking with the Kuwaitis to indicate at least that we are not quarrelling with them. We just want to clarify some issues,” De Vega said. De Vega said that the main issue of the Kuwaiti government during the 2018 negotitations before was the shelter for Filipino workers.
“Over the weekend, Kuwait is sending police and immigration to check on the hotel. So what we did was bring them back to the shelter kahit masikip so they will not accuse us of violating Kuwaiti laws,” he said.
