Kabul – IOM, in partnership with the Government of Afghanistan, this week (15-17/7) organized a workshop to help Afghanistan to engage with its diaspora abroad to promote the country’s development.

The event was the first of its kind in Afghanistan and was attended by 16 representatives of various government bodies, including the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Martyrs and Disabled, which is currently the lead ministry responsible for diaspora engagement.

Geneva — The rapid expansion of a globalized economy supported by a system of rules, processes and institutions seems to be interacting with migration flows in ways that have not been experienced before.

In order to explore the interlinkages between trade and migration, IOM, the UN Migration Agency in collaboration with the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD), hosted a brainstorming workshop titled Advancing a Global Agenda on Trade and Migration on Wednesday (04/07) at IOM headquarters in Geneva.
