Minister of Labor Ahmed Hasan El-Borei has announced that the ministry will revise foreign labor regulations in the coming few days.
El-Borei said that this issue has become a hot topic in recent days and that foreigners will no longer be hired in jobs that can be performed by Egyptians.
He added that the ministry will enforce the international labor regulations on the hiring foreigners, adding that the number one priority will be to find jobs for Egyptians.
El-Borei also pointed out that in some sectors in Egypt, such as the spinning and weaving sector, Egyptian workers have a lot of talent, but have been recently replaced by non-Egyptians who work without a license.
The ministry will announce the new regulations early next week.
