Vietnam has provided 500,000 Vietnamese labourers skilled in healthcare,engineering and mechanical engineering for 40 countries, including Japan, theRepublic of Korea, and Qatar and it is able to supply high quality workforcefor the Czech Republic.
Karlovy Vary is in need of 6,500 workers while the figure in the whole countryis 700,000, thus local businesses are planning to hire labourers outside theEuropean Union, including those from Vietnam.
At the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to the Czech Republic Ho Minh Tuan saidthat labour cooperation deal between the two countries has expired since 2008and is yet to be re-signed. The exchange of experts between the two countriesis not to be carried out yet.
Most of the Vietnamese workers go to the Czech Republic through a brokeragecompany with high fees, Tuan noted, adding that contracts signed between theEuropean country’s localities and more than 260 licensed enterprises in Vietnamare necessary in the coming time.
He also laid stress on the need for both sides to take measures and make effortsto concretise the cooperation agreements.
