HANOI (Xinhua): Vietnam will consider a proposal to create favourable conditions for the recruitment of foreign workers with high professional, technical qualifications and experience to positions that local workers are not qualified for, local media reported on Tuesday (Aug 22), citing the Ministry of Labour-Invalids and Social Affairs.

Under the proposal, either the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs or People's Committees of provinces and cities will manage foreign labourers working in their localities, including granting work permits, local newspaper Vietnam News reported.
