JAKARTA - Deputy Minister (Wamen) for the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI), Christina Aryani held a meeting with Croatian Ambassador to Indonesia, Nebojsa Koharovic. They discussed the opportunity for the placement of Indonesian migrant workers in the country.

"I welcome this meeting, and think Croatia can be an option for the placement of Indonesian migrant workers. Of course we will also ensure that the terms and conditions favor the protection of Indonesian migrant workers," said Christina after the meeting which took place on Tuesday, March 4.

Indonesian migrant workers have the opportunity to work in the hospitality and construction sector through various schemes. Such as between governments (government to government) to private to private (P to P) by involving Indonesian migrant worker placement companies (P3MI).

The salary or minimum wage offered reaches 1200-150 euros. This figure includes accommodation and transportation dependents for migrant workers from Indonesia.

Currently, migrant workers in Krosia are still dominated by the Philippines, Nepal, and India. Therefore, Indonesia has a great opportunity.

This condition, continued the Golkar Party politician, is a great opportunity for Indonesian migrant workers to take part and work in the two main sectors that contributed to the Croatian GDP earlier.

"Of course, all of this will be studied," said Christina.

The former member of the Indonesian House of Representatives added that the Ministry of P2MI at the meeting also agreed to form an Umbrella MoU with the Croatian Government through Croatian ambassador to Indonesia.

"The MoU will broadly regulate an agreement to cooperate in the placement of Indonesian migrant workers," said Christina.
