1,705 Kuwaiti companies registered at Dubai's Chamber

KUWAIT, Jan 4 (KUNA) -- Up to 1,705 Kuwaiti companies are registered at the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Kuwait Business Council (KBC) in Dubai and the Northern Emirates said on Thursday.
Kuwaiti employers in Dubai reached 712, and employees 151, the KBC added in a statement, citing records of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization.
The KBC noted that it had discussed with Kuwaiti government officials extension of insurance protection to the Kuwaiti entrepreneurs in the UAE under "free business," as well as the possibility of similarly applying the advantages of supporting national labor, as well as social allowances. It noted that Kuwait's social insurance system does not cover Kuwaiti private projects' owners in the UAE. The delegation met with Director General of Kuwait's Public Institute for Social Security Hamad Al-Humaidhi who welcomed the proposal, and issued directives to study it in line with the relevant GCC agreements, and from the legislative and executive prospects.
They also discussed the issue with Secretary General of the Manpower and Government Restructuring Program (MGRP) Fawzi Al-Majdali. (end) km.ht.abd.msa
