Phan Van Minh, director of the Overseas Workers Center, under the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, said that 25,113 Vietnamese workers, whose labor contracts had expired earlier, will return to work in the Republic of Korea (RoK) this year.
Mr. Minh said that the RoK Government has approved a quota, under which these workers will return to the country.
From March this year, the center will coordinate with the Human Resource Development Service of Korea to organize a Korean language exam for them.
RoK will continue to be the main labor export market for Vietnam in 2013, offering workers a monthly income of US$1,000-1,500.
