According to the diplomat, since 1992, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese workers have been sent to Japan to work under various programs. As the second-largest foreign community in Japan, Vietnamese workers have been making significant contribution to the host country’s socio-economic development and become bridges for the close relationship between the two nations and their peoples.
The annual rapid and steady increase in the number of Vietnamese laborers working in Japan demonstrates the popularity and adaptability of Vietnamese workers to the lifestyle, work environment, and culture of Japan, as well as the Japanese side’s satisfaction and desire to receive Vietnamese laborers, the diplomat said.
Mai expressed her belief that through the forum, parties involved will find suitable partners to meet the demands of the modern, high-quality labor market.
Representatives of localities and businesses from Vietnam provided detailed introductions about the potential for supplying high-quality human resources, as well as incentives aimed at promoting cooperation with Japanese partners.
Meanwhile, representatives from Fukuoka's administration and Japanese businesses highly valued the quality of Vietnamese human resources, as well as the increasing contributions by Vietnamese workers to the Japanese locality’s socio-economic development.
Many Japanese businesses in the Kyushu region said they hope that similar activities will be organized more frequently, making it easy for them to access reliable and useful information in the recruitment of workers from various localities in Vietnam.
At the event, Consul General Mai and leaders of Fukuoka witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Vietnam Information Technology Association in Kyushu (VITAK) and the GAG Japanese Language Institute on Japanese language training for Vietnamese IT engineers, and a labor supply contract under the technical intern training program between Vietnam’s JHL Group and Ohama Group of Japan.
A similar forum will be held in Hiroshima city on May 29 with the participation of representatives from Hiroshima Prefecture's leaders, the Chugoku Economic Federation, and hundreds of Japanese and Vietnamese businesses.
