Speaking at the event, Minister Dung affirmed that cooperation between his ministry and Cambodia's Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training has been developing and achieved many good results. Specifically, through the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding on labor cooperation between the two ministries signed in March 2017, the ministries have strengthened the management of Cambodian laborers in Vietnam as well as Vietnamese laborers in Cambodia, helping ensure their legitimate rights and interests, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
