"Sudan has expressed interest in employing 200 construction workers, 120 nurses, 200 engineers and 15 agriculture machine operators," the Indonesian Ambassador to Sudan, Dr Sujatmiko, said in the press statement.
The ambassador said that the Sudan need for Indonesian professional workers (TKI) could be met soon because it was very easy to find workers of that qualifications in Indonesia.
Head of the Indonesian Agency for Placement and Protection of Indonesian workers Overseas (BNP2TKI) Moh Jumhur Hidayat hailed the Sudan need for workers from Indonesia.
Jumhur was visiting Khartoum on Wednesday for a working visit in Sudan.
During his visit, Jumhur had meetings with officials of Sudan`s ministry of manpower and executives of a number of major companies in that country.
The visit of the BNP2TKI chief was a concrete step for the sending of professional workers to Sudan, he said.
The BNP2TKI and the Sudan manpower ministry have concluded a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the placement and protection of the professional workers mentioned earlier.
DAL Group, the largest conglomerate in Sudan, has planned to visit Indonesia to follow up the MoU with the BNP2TI and to conduct direct recruitment of the professional workers who would be placed in the diary, engineering, automotive, property and other sectors.
"It is expected that the placement of professional workers in Sudan would help reduce non-professional workers in the Arab-African country," the ambassador said.
