The PM suggested that the two sides continue to effectively enhance labour cooperation, promote negotiations on a labour agreement and sign it at an appropriate time. He promised to send the Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs to soon visit Qatar for specific discussions.
The Vietnamese leader asked the Qatari minister to promote, cooperate and support the construction of training centres for Vietnamese workers before they go to work in Qatar. This will play an important role in improving the skills, qualifications, and cultural and legal understanding of workers, he said.
PM Chinh expected that relevant ministries and agencies of the two countries will take drastic actions to implement agreements reached by high-ranking leaders.
For his part, Ali bin Saeed expressed his delight that at the meetings and talks, the Vietnamese PM and Qatari leaders agreed on the direction to promote cooperation in various fields, including the labour sector.
Praising significant achievements in labour cooperation between Vietnam and Qatar, the minister noted that there remains considerable potential to be tapped as the number of Vietnamese guest workers in Qatar remains modest, at nearly 1,000. Given Qatar’s strong demand for foreign workers, the country is ready to expand labour collaboration with Vietnam, which boasts a population of 100 million, and a abundant, young, and skilled workforce, he said.
He stated that the two countries signed an agreement in 2008 stipulating the recruitment of Vietnamese workers for employment in Qatar. Over the next seven to eight years, Qatar will need a substantial number of workers for sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, education, and transportation.
Ali bin Saeed committed to accelerating negotiations and signing of more agreements to increase the number of Vietnamese workers in Qatar. He said he welcomes his Vietnamese counterpart in Qatar to discuss measures to boost cooperation.
The minister agreed with the PM on the importance of establishing workforce training centres in Vietnam, suggesting that both sides collaborate with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to implement the scheme.
