Safety and labour standards focus

Bahrain and Egypt signed a memorandum of understanding in labour and human resources development on Wednesday during the official visit of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to Egypt. The agreement between the two labour ministries translates high-level ties into practical pathways that prepare young people for private-sector employment.

Skills First

The MoU focuses on developing and qualifying human resources to keep pace with labour-market shifts. It highlights enhancing the capabilities and skills of young people so they can be integrated into the labour market through targeted programmes.

Private Hiring

The pact underscores support for the private sector to attract and employ citizens. By centring company needs alongside national employment goals, the ministries signal a push to convert training into real jobs.

Safer Workplaces

Cooperation covers national labour legislation and the regulation of labour relations, including working conditions and occupational safety and health. Technical advice and joint programmes are part of the implementation toolkit.

Data Sharing

The two sides will exchange the latest labour-market information and statistical indicators. Better data is expected to inform policies and hiring plans and to measure outcomes over time.

Regional Coordination

The agreement also commits to coordinating efforts regionally and internationally to showcase joint experiences in labour and human resources development. On this occasion, His Excellency Yousif bin Abdulhussain Khalaf, Minister of Legal Affairs and Acting Minister of Labour, praised Bahrain–Egypt relations and said the MoU reflects shared resolve to deepen cooperation across key employment priorities.
