NEW DELHI, 17 Feb:<\/strong> India and Taiwan on Friday signed a migration and mobility agreement that will facilitate the employment of Indian workers in diverse sectors in the self-ruled island, a move that is seen as reflective of the renewed momentum in the cooperation between the two sides.<\/p>\n The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed at a virtual ceremony by Director General of the India-Taipei Association (ITA) Manharsinh Laxmanbhai Yadav and Baushuan Ger, the head of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Centre in New Delhi.<\/p>\n In order to strengthen the bilateral labour cooperation relations, Taiwan and India have signed an MoU, Taiwan’s labour ministry said.<\/p>\n Both sides were engaged in discussions over the pact for the last several years. After all the preparatory work is completed, India will be announced as a “new source” country of migrant workers in accordance with the law, the Taiwanese labour ministry said.<\/p>\n The Taiwanese labour ministry said it will submit the MoU to the Legislative Yuan for a review, adding that Taiwan is affected by an ageing population and low birth rate, and that is why it is looking at the migrant labour force.<\/p>\n The overall ties between India and Taiwan are on an upswing.<\/p>\n China considers Taiwan as its breakaway province and insists that it should be unified with the mainland, by force if necessary. Taiwan, however, sees itself as completely distinct from China.<\/p>\n Though India and Taiwan do not have formal diplomatic ties, the bilateral trade relations have been on an upward trajectory.
