Meeting with workers in Tan Thuan export processing zone in district 7, President Sang heard their concerns over issues such as salaries, incentives for home purchase, pre-schools for their children and improvement of their professional skills.

He expressed hope that they will work harder to hone their skills while asking trade unions to offer them all possible support along the way.

On the occasion, he also called on firms to improve the capacity of their staff so as to better integrate into the global markets.

The president informed workers that Vietnam is negotiating the Tran-Pacific Partnership deal with major partners like the US, the European Union and Russia, saying that this will help home enterprises expand consumption markets and generate more jobs for workers.-VNA
