Labor cooperation and development financing, alongside tensions over migrant-worker treatment
Arabia Saudí hacia Sri Lanka
+10Saudi Arabia cooperated with Sri Lanka on migrant labor through the 2014 agreement regulating Sri Lankan domestic workers and provided development financing for projects in Sri Lanka. The execution of Sri Lankan worker Rizana Nafeek in 2013, despite appeals from Sri Lanka, was a serious source of strain.
Sri Lanka hacia Arabia Saudí
+15Sri Lanka concluded a 2014 labor agreement with Saudi Arabia to regulate the employment of Sri Lankan domestic workers there. Sri Lankan authorities also appealed for clemency for Rizana Nafeek before her execution in 2013.
Relación general
+10The relationship includes concrete cooperation on migrant labor and Saudi development financing, but labor protections and the execution of a Sri Lankan worker have been significant sources of friction. These features support a generally modestly cooperative, though not close, bilateral relationship.
