The Sri Lanka Embassy in Korea is planning to provide employment to 7,000 youth in Korea next year, Chief Harbour Welfare Officer Thushara Perera said.

The Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau (SLFEB) together with the Sri Lanka Embassy in Korea are making arrangements to make this move a reality. "Although Korean authorities have given an annual employment quota of 9,500, so far only around 2,000 Sri Lankans have taken up jobs in Korea."
