The
Vietnam Migration Profile 2016 is the result of the project
"Strengthening mechanisms for cooperation among Vietnamese authorities
in migration management" that has been implemented by the Consular
Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the
Delegation of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Hanoi for
2 years (2015 - 2017).
Addressing
the event, Director General of the Consular Department of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Vietnam Nguyen Minh Vu emphasized that the State of the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam pursues a consistent policy of the promotion of
legal migration, the prevention of illegal migration, the insurance of safe
migration and the protection of legitimate rights and interests of migrants.
Viet
Nam always attaches importance to promoting cooperation with other countries
in the region and world on migration management in order to share experience
and information on migration, contributing to crafting appropriate policies
for the development of the country in the process of international
integration.
Viet
Nam’s rapid economic development is fuelling large migration flows from rural
areas to where employment opportunities are more available. Millions of
migrants are working in Viet Nam’s largest cities. These internal migrants
often have difficulty accessing accommodation, education for their children,
and health care. With regard to international migration, millions of
Vietnamese live permanently overseas, and hundreds of thousands reside abroad
as temporary workers.
The
country wants to enhance cooperation in migration management with other
countries so as to share experience and information, helping to build
suitable policies that will serve national development during the integration
process, he noted.
The
profile includes updated data on Vietnam's migration flows, as well as
analysis and assessment of migration status; offers recommendations in line
with the current situation in order to improve the management capacity of
relevant ministries and branches, contributing to better managing
international migration and strengthening mechanisms of cooperation between
State management agencies.
A
similar event on the release of the 2016 migration profile will also be held
in Ho Chi Minh City on August 29, to widely spread it to relevant agencies
and foreign representative agencies in the southern region./.
