HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam’s Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) and the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training of Cambodia signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on labour co-operation in Hà Nội on Wednesday.

Under the MoU, the two sides will strengthen co-operation, share experience and jointly study occupation and vocational training, labour law observance, labour dispute settlement, among other fields.

The two sides will join hands to manage migrant workers, facilitate the handling of legal procedures for labourers in border areas and help them work and live legally.

MoLISA Minister Đào Ngọc Dung said Việt Nam continuously encourages localities bordering Cambodia to promote co-operation in migrant labourer management, poverty reduction, vocational training and health check-ups for the poor.

He also expressed his hope that the visit of the Cambodian minister will contribute to promoting joint studies to address differences in policies on foreign labourers.

For his part, Cambodian minister Ith Samheng noted Dung’s requests relating to further facilitating Vietnamese labourers working in Cambodia, particularly in the border areas.

The Cambodian minister’s visit and the MoU are expected to mark a new step in the relations between the two ministries and to contribute to the two nations’ co-operation. — VNS
