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.
