The suspension applies to the visa applications for long-term residence with the aim of either employment or business activities, he noted.
“Vietnam understands this is rather a technical problem that we are willing to coordinate with the Czech Republic to solve,” Hang said.
Vietnam and the Czech Republic enjoy a fruitful and friendly cooperation.Thereby, the bilateral cooperation in various areas would be promoted further, she added.
Ealier, Vietnamese Ambassador to the Czech Republic Ho Minh Tuan told Vietnam News that Vietnam will actively implement measures to address this issue through diplomatic negotiations.
Some 500,000 Vietnamese citizens are living and working overseas, according to Vietnam's statistics. On average, more than 90,000 Vietnamese workers leave the country each year, mainly for labor-intensive and low-skilled jobs. Vietnam’s total workforce is around 50 million.
