KUALA LUMPUR: Thailand's Labor Ministry said this week that it will undertake steps to address transnational human trafficking which also involves migrant workforce, the Thai News Agency reported. Minister Padermchai Sasomsap said that the ministry will focus on government to government labor import agreements, in which Thai employers requiring workers “will need to contact associations of their respective businesses for specific manpower and to discourage unilateral movements of migrant workers without reporting to relevant authorities.” More registration service points will be provided and national verification centres for migrant workers, mostly for Myanmar nationals, will be increased from three to 8. “The ministry will work closely with non-governmental organizations to provide immediate support for human trafficking victims,” said Sasomsap. Sasomsap said this during his meeting with US ambassador to Thailand Kristie Kenny in Bangkok on Monday, in which the minister also said pregnant workers who enter the country illegally will be sent back to their home country.
