According to the current economic and social changes, the Korean Employment Permit System will be restructured, which is expected to increase the employment quota given to Sri Lankan workers, Korean Employment and Labour Minister Lee Jung-sik said.

While having a meeting with Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana, a Korean in Parliament, the Labour Minister said that through this restructuring, he hopes to expand the opportunities available to Sri Lanka, especially in various industrial sectors and specialized service sectors.

The Korean Employment and Labuor Minister expressed his appreciation for the measures taken by the Sri Lankan government to teach Korean to Sri Lankans and stated that he hopes to continue the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and other cooperation programmes.

Meanwhile, the Speaker expressed his gratitude for the support provided by KOICA to Sri Lanka. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

Absolutely! Taking this opportunity is fantastic for Sri Lanka. While we might not all become K-pop dancers or kimchi chefs (just kidding!), in simple terms, it's a step in the right direction. It can help us learn new technology, build a skilled workforce, earn foreign exchange,and make a positive impact on future generations.

All foreign employments quotas, when recruiting employees, skilled or unskilled, should be allocated to all nine provinces of Sri Lanka. Department of labour and/or the provincial councils, in each province should be coordinated for recruitment purposes
