Bahrain remains lucrative place for skilled Pakistani workforce


ISLAMABAD: Numerous employment opportunities exist for highly skilled Pakistani workforce in public as well as private sectors of Bahrain, said Ambassador of Bahrain to Pakistan, Mohamed Ebrahim Mohamed Abdulqader.

Talking to Chairman National Vocational & Technical Education Commission (NAVTEC), Adnan A Khwaja, who called on him here on Thursday, he said although the Pakistani workforce working in Bahrain was good in number but there was a scope for absorption of properly trained Pakistani manpower in various sectors, including construction, services, banking and health. He, however, said employment opportunities for skilled Pakistani women like doctors, nurses, bankers and the security women were comparatively higher.

He said many of the Pakistanis were enjoying a good status and reputation in his country in banking, police, intelligence and navy.

Ambassador Ebrahim assured Adnan Khwaja that the Bahrainís mission will fully cooperate with the NAVTEC for exploring more jobs for Pakistanis in Bahrain. On the occasion, Chairman NAVTEC said his organisation, under a comprehensive strategy, was producing highly skilled workforce through technical training courses.

In this connection, he referred to the establishment of eight Centres of Excellence in Pakistan with the technical assistance of the British Council and the JICA to help Pakistan in producing skilled manpower of international standards.

Khwaja told Ambassador Ebrahim that since its establishment in 2006, the NAVTEC had already trained 70,000 youth in various disciplines. ìWe have planned to train 100,000 more next year. We are confident that our newly trained workforce will be an asset for any organisation it will work for,î he added.

Welcoming the NAVTEC chairman’s forthcoming visit to Bahrain, Ebrahim assured him all possible help and support to make the visit fruitful and rewarding. He, however, suggested the chairman to fully involve the Pakistani mission in Bahrain for interaction with the country’s major employers for availing maximum job opportunities. Executive Director NAVTEC Muhammad Ather Tahir and Director General (Planning & Development) Muhammad Riaz Khan were also present.

India: The Terrorists Within

A day after major Indian cities were placed on high alert following blasts in the IT city of Bangalore, as many as 17 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad, capital of the affluent western Indian state of Gujarat . Some 30 people were killed, some at hospitals where bombs were timed to go off when the injured from other blasts were being brought in. (Later, in Surat, a center for the world's diamond industry, a bomb was defused near a hospital and two cars packed with explosives were found in in the city's outskirts.) Investigators pointed fingers at the usual Islamist suspects: Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Bangladesh- based Harkat-ul Jihadi Islami (HUJI) and the indigenous Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).

Pakistan Army Must Not Intervene In The Current Crisis - Who To Blame For the Present Crisis in Pakistan ?

By Sikander Hayat Another day of agony and despair as Pakistanis live through a period of uncertainty but still I believe that army must not intervene in this crisis. These are the kind of circumstances when army need to show their resolve of not meddling in the political sphere of the country. No doubt that there will be people in the corridors of power and beyond who will be urging the army to step in and ‘save’ the country but let me tell you that country will only be saved if army stays away and let the politicians decide the future of the country, even if it means that there will be clashes on the streets of Islamabad. With free media in place, people are watching with open eyes the parts being played by each and every individual in this current saga. They know who is right and who is wrong and they will eventually decide who stays in power when the next general election comes. Who said that democracy was and orderly and pretty business ; it is anything but. Democracy ...
