Saudi Arabia to train workers in Pakistan for NEOM


The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development recently has planned to propose the dedication of a special quota for Pakistani skilled and semi-skilled workers for NEOM and other upcoming projects. Additionally, a proposal for Saudi Arabia to establish a state-of-the-art Skill University in Pakistan further aligns the two nations in their pursuit of economic transformation, an official source told APP.

The high-level delegation visit aims to align Pakistan’s workforce with Saudi Arabia’s economic transformation program under Vision 2030, fostering a strong partnership for mutual benefit.

Saudi Arabia is home to over two million Pakistani expatriates and is the single largest remittance source to the South Asian nation.  In 2021 Saudi Arabia deposited $3 billion in Pakistan’s central bank to help support its foreign reserves.
