Taipei, Jakarta to discuss migrant worker wrangles
Staff writer, with CNA, JAKARTA
A number of issues relating to the supply of Indonesian migrant workers to Taiwan are to be discussed today in a videoconference between officials of the two nations, the Indonesian government said yesterday.
The main issues on the agenda include Taiwan’s ban on Indonesian migrant workers due to COVID-19 concerns and a policy set to be introduced by Jakarta to transfer all preparatory costs of migrant workers to Taiwanese employers, the National Agency for the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Overseas Workers said.
The entry ban was imposed on Wednesday last week by the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) and extended the following Friday amid a spike in the number of imported COVID-19 cases from Indonesia.
