Pecker is a key witness in the case against the former US president, who is accused of falsifying business records to cover up hush-money payment
Data showed that 938 Pakistani nationals got jobs in Kuwait in June after the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member state reopened its market for people from the South Asian nation at the end of May.
Kuwait restored family and business visas for Pakistani citizens after 10 years following a meeting between Pakistan’s Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed and Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al Khalid Al Sabah in May.
The fifth flight, carrying 192 Pakistani medical professionals, left for Kuwait on Wednesday (June 16).
“This is a result of successful discussion between Pakistan and Kuwait regarding opening up employment opportunities for Pakistani medics, despite the Covid-19 challenge,” said the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resources Development.
