Speaking about the travel restrictions, Muraleedharan said, “COVID is an unpredictable and unforeseen pandemic, and many countries were forced to impose travel restrictions but we are happy that we have been able to contain the spread of COVID.”

“India is leading by example as we have already given 1 billion vaccines to our people. We have also provided vaccines to 93 countries in the world. The Prime Minister has already announced that the vaccine supply that stopped during the second wave will be resumed. I am sure that in the coming days, as new cases are reducing considerably, travel restrictions will be eased. We had some consultations regarding this on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Dialogue, but we will wait for the other countries to make the formal announcement,” he added.

On rehabilitation of expatriates who lost their jobs in the UAE, Muraleedharan said, “The Government has already made a lot of efforts in this regard. We have introduced a skill component wherein any person who decides to resettle in India, can enter their skill capacity in the prescribed format and the data will be shared with the Ministry of Skill Development. We have also created a platform for the benefit of employers and employees but many of them have already returned or planning to return as all countries in the Gulf have started opening their borders.”
