A two-day international seminar on labour migration was held in Brussels as part of the Prague Process. The event was attended by representatives of relevant government agencies, international organisations and European Union bodies, including the European Commission and the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD). This was reported by the press service of the Turkmenistan diplomatic mission in Brussels.

Representatives of the State Migration Service of Turkmenistan took part in the seminar. During thematic sessions and round-table discussions, Turkmen specialists presented their country’s experience in regulating migration processes, paying particular attention to the introduction of innovative approaches and the development of digital solutions in the field of migration management.

Participants were also provided with information on the modernisation of Turkmenistan’s migration infrastructure, including the expansion of e-services, the strengthening of inter-agency cooperation and the improvement of data-sharing mechanisms between government agencies. It was noted that these measures are aimed at increasing the transparency of procedures, the quality of public services and the efficiency of migration management.

During the discussions, experts and representatives of the participating countries gave a positive assessment of the level of institutional development of Turkmenistan’s migration system. It was emphasised that the national system demonstrates a high level of internal coordination, and that effective information exchange between relevant departments facilitates a timely response to contemporary migration challenges.

The seminar also served as a platform for professional dialogue on the development of legal channels for labour mobility, the expansion of international cooperation and the improvement of mechanisms for the recognition of qualifications. Participants discussed promising areas for further cooperation and exchanged best practices in the field of migration management.
