(LĐXH)- On August 13, Minister of MoLISA Dao Ngoc Dung had a meeting with Ms. Cristina Romila, Ambassador of Romania to Vietnam to discuss labour cooperation between Vietnam and Romania, including Romania's proposal on negotiating a bilateral social insurance agreement related to pension, sickness and maternity regimes.
The basic salary of workers ranges from 750 - 1,000 USD/month (excluding overtime pay).
Vietnamese workers working in Romania under contracts signed between enterprises of the two countries are entitled to two types of insurance, including health insurance and occupational accident insurance.
Regarding the protection of the rights of Vietnamese workers working in Romania, Minister Dao Ngoc Dung said that Romanian authorities always closely coordinate with Vietnamese diplomatic missions in the host country to provide information on the situation of Vietnamese workers working in Romania.
Minister Dao Ngoc Dung also fully agreed with Romania's proposal to negotiate a bilateral social insurance agreement related to pension, sickness and maternity benefits.
At the reception, Ms. Cristina Romila said that the recent visit of Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh to Romania was a great success.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the two sides need to continue developing cooperation in labour and education and training, which are traditional areas of cooperation in which both Vietnam and Romania have needs and strengths.
During that visit, the two countries re-signed the Memorandum of Understanding between the MoLISA and the Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity of Romania on cooperation in the field of labour and social security.
Ms. Cristina Romila proposed visa exemption for Romanian citizens to visit Vietnam to suit the new situation and bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
Ms. Cristina Romila hoped that the two sides can sign an Agreement on social insurance on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 2025. This will be an important milestone on the occasion./.
