They paid a visit to Dr. Abdulrahman Addulmannan Al Awar, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratization, on the occasion of taking on a new position on December 8, 2021, which took place at the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

The discussions were when the Labour Minister and his delegation attended the 8th World Government Summit in Dubai. He said that on behalf of the government and the Ministry of Labour of Thailand, he thanked the United Arab Emirates for taking good care of Thai workers. The Thai workers who have the opportunity to work in the United Arab Emirates will be able to develop their skills and generate income for themselves and their families. He said that Thai workers are workers accepted by UAE employers, especially in business sectors such as massage/spa and Thai cuisine. This country has a high demand for foreign workers in many sectors, especially in fields where Thai workers are accepted.
