Jul 20, 2015 / 02:24 PM

Korean marriage supporting project was launched in Vi Thanh city, the Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang on July 16 by the Vietnam Women’s Union (VWU) and the Vietnamese Women’s Cultural Centre (VWCC) in the Republic of Korea (RoK).

The 390,000-USD project will be piloted over 18 months in the northern Hai Duong province and Hau Giang province, said VWCC General Director Koo Gyo Hoom at the event, adding that the project will focus on consultation, education and giving pre- and post-marriage support.
He highlighted that the project aims to raise awareness of women in the localities of cross-culture marriage in line with the two nations’ regulations, making contributions to reducing risks of illegal international marriage brokerages.
For her part, VWU Vice President Bui Thi Hoa called for further dissemination of cross culture marriage and improvements in the operations of consulting marriage centres to realise the project targets.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Public Security, some 115,600 Vietnamese nationals married foreigners from over 50 countries and territories from 2008-2014. Since 2004, over 11,000 women in Hau Giang province married foreigners, 70 percent of which are from the RoK.
