Huawei’s decision to move its MENA headquarters from Egypt to Morocco is due to the difficulties Chinese citizens face to get visas and work permits to Egypt, Ali Wali writes for Al Masry Al Youm. Morocco has exempted them from visas altogether. According to Wali, the company’s decision should serve as a wake-up call that Egypt needs to review its laws and policies on labor in order to attract foreign talent, rather than drive it out of the country as a result of our policies requiring foreigners to obtain work permits.
