The renewal of people's agreements had stopped renewing the support of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, especially in countries like Egypt. Thus, in Qatar, there was a scarcity of skilled and semi-skilled workers in different fields.

Dr. Zubair Iqbal said that 'FIFA Soccer World Cup 2022' has been given to Qatar. Therefore, Infrastructure is being developed in Qatar for holding this big global tournament, which requires skilled people in relevant fields, and for this, the Pakistani worker is an attractive market for the desired human resource.

However, he warned that if global oil prices fall, then developmental measures in Qatar and other Gulf countries may be slow and thus, demand for 'Labor' may also be reduced.
