Through the agreement, skilled professionals here can be easily absorbed by German industry, sources familiar with the development said.

This will be the first agreement under the G20 "Skills-based migration pathways" framework, which was agreed upon by the member countries last year in New Delhi.

Under this framework, the top 20 economies of the world have recognised that integrated skill-based migration pathways help expand job opportunities for skilled professionals across the globe and lead to formalising the workforce and benefit both countries of origin and destination.

WIN-WIN DEAL

• Pact, set to be signed next week, will be the first agreement under the G20 'Skills-based migration pathways' framework accepted at New Delhi meet
