Keyed on easing economic impact of Covid-19 on Indians abroad: Jaishankar

The government's focus has been to provide better opportunities and welfare measures to prospective migrants, he added

India has been engaged with foreign governments to ensure the welfare of prospective migrants, and is currently focussed on mitigating the negative economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on Indian talent abroad, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Monday.

Addressing the third edition of the Annual Conference of Protectors of Emigrants (POEs) via video-conferencing, he said the POEs must also rise to the challenge of reviving the post-Covid-19 economy and engage with the post-coronavirus world.

"Our government has accorded the highest priority to promoting the interests of Indian emigrants for the last six years," Jaishankar said.
