According to Doi Van Chinh, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the sector is making efforts to implement the Party and State’s guidelines and policies on sending Vietnamese labourers to work abroad in a methodical and concerted manner, and has actively negotiated and signed relevant international cooperation documents, and strengthened inspections over enterprises engaged in labour export activities.

These enterprises will accompany and cooperate with the province comprehensively through the signing a long-term cooperation programme.

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.
