OREANDA-NEWS  India will send the necessary number of skilled labor migrants to Russia. This was announced by Indian Ambassador Vinay Kumar following the results of the II Russian-Indian business forum "Time", writes TASS.

According to him, India accounts for an average of 25 to 30 percent of the quota for attracting foreign workers. "Depending on the exact number, of course, the necessary number of qualified labor from India will be trained and sent to Russia," Kumar said.

The Ambassador stressed that India is the most populous country in the world with almost 1.5 billion people. According to his forecasts, in the coming decades the country will become a world center of qualified personnel. Approximately 69 percent of the total workforce of the population are Indians aged 29 years. "Therefore, we are training specialists not only for the domestic market, but also for work abroad," Kumar said, adding that India also invites Russian partners to open new ones and cooperate with existing Indian institutions for personnel training.

Earlier, the head of the Department of Migration Policy and Social Security of the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Prashant Pease, announced his readiness to increase the number of migrant workers to Russia, and there is great interest in this direction in the country. According to him, the volume of migration depends entirely on the demand of Russian employers, and the Indian side is ready to fill the gaps in staff qualifications.
