Italy has allocated a labor quota of 10,500 jobs for Pakistani workers over the next three years.
According to the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development, 3,500 Pakistani workers will be employed in Italy each year under this arrangement.
The quota includes 1,500 seasonal and 2,000 non-seasonal jobs annually.
A ministry spokesperson said Italy is the first European country to formally allocate a country-specific labor quota to Pakistan, calling it a landmark development in Pakistan-Europe labor cooperation.
A second meeting of the Pakistan-Italy Joint Working Group is scheduled to be held in Islamabad in February next year to further strengthen collaboration.
