After the deportation and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of labor migrants from Central Asian countries in Russia, the question of who will fill the labor shortage in the job market is being discussed more frequently.
The authorities of India are ready to increase the number of labor migrants traveling to Russia for work.
As noted by the head of the migration policy department of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, Prashant Pise, it all depends on the demand from Moscow.
The Indian diplomat claims that there are many talented specialists in India, as well as enough educational institutions for professional training. He stated that the country has institutes specifically designed for the foreign market.
In recent years, the number of labor migrants from distant foreign countries, including India, Bangladesh, and African countries, has gradually increased in Russia. According to the Indian ambassador to Russia, Vinay Kumar, there are currently about 70,000 to 80,000 Indian citizens working in the country.
Experts believe that Russia is seeking to change its migration policy, partially replacing migrants from Central Asian countries, including Tajikistan, with labor from distant foreign countries. At the same time, migrants from Central Asia continue to be mass deported or sent to fight in the war in Ukraine. Experts do not rule out that in the future, migrants from distant foreign countries may also be recruited for the war in Ukraine.
