Ambassador's Statement on Premature Departure of Indians from the UAE
February 09, 2009

In response to media queries regarding the premature departure of Indian nationals from the UAE, following termination of contracts, the Ambassador of India, Mr. Talmiz Ahmad, made the following statement:

“We do not have any factual information whatsoever regarding the number of Indian nationals likely to leave UAE for India following premature termination of their employment contracts due to economic recession. Speculating about figures at this stage is premature and unhelpful. We are aware that the Government of UAE in different Emirates is making every effort to ensure that most of the ongoing projects are pursued and completed as per schedule”
