The Qatari ambassador has already given a positive gesture of increasing job opportunities for Pakistanis in Qatar.

The establishment of a visa center will ensure the elimination of exploitative practices and Pakistani workers will have their rights protected.

There are 115,000 Pakistanis in Qatar and new job opportunities will increase this number.

The new project of establishing this sort of facilitation center will ease the process for Pakistanis that want to work in Qatar. This eventually will increase remittances, making this step a good news for the economy of the Country.
