Taiwanese Labour Minister Hsu Ming-chun said that any claims made regarding Taiwan seeking to open its doors to 1,00,000 Indian workers are "fake".
Taiwanese Labour Minister Hsu Ming-chun on Saturday said that the government has no plans to bring as many as 100,000 migrant workers from India to Taiwan, Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA) reported. His remarks come in apparent reference to the statement made by Kuomintang (KMT) presidential nominee Hou Yu-ih.
In a press release, Hsu Ming-chun said Taiwan had not signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with India to bring in migrant workers. He further said that the issue was subject to continued evaluation regarding employment cooperation.
Hsu stressed that any claims made regarding Taiwan seeking to open its doors to 100,000 Indian workers are "fake," adding that these claims have been made by "ill-intentioned people" to manipulate people's opinions for electoral gains.
