On March 23, Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh signed and promulgated Decision 379/QD-TTg on the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Australian Government and the Vietnamese Government on supporting Vietnamese citizens in the agricultural work program in Australia.
Accordingly, the decision approved the draft content of Memorandum of Understanding between the Australian Government and the Vietnamese Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on supporting Vietnamese citizens to participate in the Australian Agricultural Labor Program at the request of the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA).
It also authorized MOLISA to sign the Memorandum of Understanding with representatives from the Australian Government.
Australia is expected to receive some 1,000 Vietnamese workers per year for the agricultural sector. With the income ranging from AUD3,200-4,000 per month, the income is assessed to be higher than some other markets receiving Vietnamese laborers.
The program benefits both countries. Australia has a developed economy, with modern agriculture. Labor cooperation with this country helps Vietnamese workers come to work not only with good income and secure working conditions, but also offers an opportunity for workers to learn knowledge, skills, advanced science and technology. Meanwhile, the program meets Australia's demand for human resources./.
