Khaberni - On Tuesday, Interior Minister Mazen al-Faraya called on European countries to open legal migration channels for skilled workers from Jordan in sectors such as information technology and health.
This occurred during al-Faraya's participation in the tenth edition of the Vienna Migration Conference, held this year in the Austrian capital, Vienna, amid increasing challenges facing neighboring countries amidst escalating regional crises and the continuous influx of refugees.
Al-Faraya also called for increased funding to support refugees in light of limited support, noting that funding for the 2025 Syrian Crisis Response Plan has only reached 12%.
Al-Faraya emphasized the necessity of achieving stability in Syria as the fundamental solution to reducing migration and ensuring regional peace.
