By the end of October, more than 70,000 laborers were sent overseas, accounting for 88% of this year’s set target. Hai said: "Chinese Taipei currently ranks first in recruiting the highest number of Vietnamese workers every month, followed by Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Laos, and some countries from the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. We believe that we can achieve our set target for this year."
In October alone, more than 7000 people were sent abroad to work, 3000 of them female workers.
