TOKYO -- Nepal is looking to send more workers to Japan, especially those who will qualify for skilled visas, Nepal's labor minister told Nikkei in an interview in Tokyo.
In Nepal, 500,000 people enter the labor market every year, according to Sharat Singh Bhandari, Nepal's minister of labor, employment and social security. But with just 100,000 job opportunities available in Nepal annually, some 400,000 need to work overseas, Bhandari said.
