The programme will be implemented in 2023.

According to statistics, there are about 30 enterprises operating in the field of labour export in the province. In the first three months of this year, the Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs introduced 10 licensed enterprises to the districts and Hoa Binh city to recruit labourers to work under contracts in Japan, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and Russia.
