HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): The Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) is striving to send 90,000 Vietnamese labourers to work abroad in 2021.

Last year many workers returned home or were unable to go overseas due to Covid-19 pandemic's restrictions, but this year, the Ministry is looking to get more people to work overseas, as long as strict health measures are met to ensure the safety of those travelling abroad to work.
