First 113 Vietnamese workers have received immediate assistance from the Vietnamese embassy in Turkey and Turkish companies to fly home safely from fierce clashes in Libya.
They are among 206 Vietnamese workers hired by Turkish companies to work in Libya. When violence erupted, especially in Tripoli and Benghazi cities, the Vietnamese embassy in Turkey worked with these companies to bring the workers to Vietnam.
A Turkish company assisted the 206 workers in moving to Istanbul from which 113 had already taken plane to Vietnam. The remainder will be brought to their homes in a couple of days.
A working group of the Vietnamese embassy led by ambassador Nguyen The Cuong landed at Istanbul airport to meet the remaining 93 workers, providing them with necessary assistance.
“We have sent a note to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) in Ankara and Istanbul. We are working with IOM Office in Istanbul to inquire into the status of other groups of Vietnamese workers in Libya,” said ambassador Cuong in an interview with VOV on July 31.
Nguyen Ngoc Quynh, head of the Department of Overseas Labour (DOLAB) under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, said there are 1,750 Vietnamese workers in Libya.
Except for 206 workers returning to Vietnam, the remainder are working outside the violence area.
