EXternal Affairs government minister S Jaishankar on wed said that countries such as the United States and European nations could harm their have interests if they impose strict restrictions on in-migration and the cross-border front of skilled workers.

It was their choice and strategy. They have to find ways of fixing it, and many of them are," he said.Also read| Crew shortage, technical glitch: What led to Indigo flight delays, cancellationsThe minister stressed the importance of highlighting the shared advantages of allowing skilled workers to move freely across borders. “The part which concerns us is to convince them that mobility, the use of talent across boundaries, is to our mutual benefit. That they would be net losers if they actually erected too many roadblocks to the flow of talent," he noted.Looking ahead, Jaishankar pointed out that the demand for specialised talent would continue to rise as economies shift towards advanced manufacturing. “As we move into an era of advanced manufacturing, we will need more talent, not less, and talent cannot be developed organically at a high rate. There is a certain structural impediment out there. In their own societies, you can see the tension," he said.“They will probably reach some modest vivendi there," Jaishankar added.(With ANI inputs)
