Vinh long: Authorities of the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long are stepping up preparations for a labour cooperation programme with Japan's Ehime and Niigata prefectures. At a working session with relevant departments, agencies, businesses, and educational institutions on June 2, Vice Chairwoman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thi Be Muoi stressed that the programme would not only help create jobs and improve incomes for workers, but also contribute to training a high-quality workforce through exposure to Japan's modern and professional working environment.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the initiative aims to bolster economic ties between Vinh Long and the Japanese prefectures, while addressing the demand for skilled labour in Japan. The programme focuses on areas such as language training, cultural exchange, and technical education to ensure that workers are well-prepared for their roles abroad. Authorities believe this cooperation will bring mutual benefits, enhancing the skills of Vietnamese workers and supporting Japan's labour market needs.
