"This meeting aims to align our priorities and strategic direction," said P2MI Minister Abdul Kadir Karding during the event, which took place in Jakarta on Saturday.
The two-day meeting, running from June 28 to 29, will focus on strategies for achieving placement targets for migrant workers, as well as mechanisms for preventing illegal labor migration.
The discussion also highlights the importance of collaboration between regional and village governments in empowering returning migrant workers. The meeting is expected to produce key policy recommendations.
“We must protect our migrant workers from violence, including human trafficking, and ensure their safe and legal placement in destination countries,” Karding emphasized.
He also reiterated the ministry’s commitment to promoting job opportunities abroad for Indonesian citizens.
