The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Moscow has initiated direct employment opportunities for Sri Lankan skilled migrant workers in the Russian Federation, in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Agency (SLFEA), a fully-owned state organisation in Sri Lanka.

The Embassy of Sri Lankan in Moscow said in an announcement that the effort is the first of its kind.

Under this initiative, the first group consisting of 58 seamstresses arrived in the Russian Federation on August 2, 2023, to be employed at two renowned textile manufacturing plants located in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

The embassy facilitated the said employers to enter into agreements with the SLFEA to recruit these 58 seamstresses, without the involvement ofintermediate agencies.

Discussions are underway in a progressive manner with the regional government authorities in Nizhny Novgorod to create more than 700 employment opportunities available for Sri Lankan skilled seamstresses.

The embassy, in liaison with the relevant authorities, is in the process of devising a mechanism in order to create more employment opportunities for Sri Lankan skilled migrant workers in the Russian Federation and other countries of accreditation, under a number of technical categories.

Good lots of Russians are looking to escape their country. Give them high skill work visas to live and work in Sri Lanka.

The dictatorship of Russia is in a state of war. Due to the sanctions, it has become difficult for many Russians to earn a living due to the increase in prices and shortages of goods. How do poorly paid Sri Lankan workers want to manage that? Also, Russia has long winters down to minus 40 degrees Celsius, which Sri Lankans probably won't like either. Do not be lured to Russia by false promises.

Having Russian language skill will improve the opportunity of any person to work in Russia. The seamstresses are probably going to lodge in hostel, but anyone who is not doing basic low skilled work, but rather has to speak Russian needs adequate skills.

When Ukraine is bombing Russia, SL is trying to send the young to get killed or what?

So now we are going to compete with the ex soviet republics like Uzbekistan, Tajikistan etc who provide the bulk of unskilled labour. Interesting.

Members of Armed forces and contract killers can earn Rubels by joining the Russian Army or their private contractors.

Be careful, you may be forced to fight Purim’s War

If the SLFEA is authorized, all political mafia will play the role where poor employees won't get an opportunity to get through these processes.
