The issues were tackled as part of this year's Abu Dhabi Dialogue (ADD), a forum to highlight matters related to manpower between Asian and Gulf countries.
Protecting the wages of domestic helpers and facilitating banking services for temporary employees are among the key issues discussed during the ADD meetings.
“We are identifying the challenges — and the steps that governments can take to address these challenges — to enhance the contracting of temporary labourers and promote human development," said Shayma Al Awadhi, acting assistant undersecretary for communication and international relations at the UAE's Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (Mohre).

Through multilateral dialogue and cooperation on the joint development of labour mobility-related programming, implementation, and reporting, ADD helps to ensure that member-states develop partnerships for adopting best practices, and are in a position to learn from each other’s experiences and knowledge.
