Binh told reporters that immediately after being informed of the situation of the 19 Vietnamese citizens, the Vietnamese embassy in Arab Saudi and Yemen kept close contact with representatives of these workers and coordinated with Yemen agencies, embassies of ASEAN nations and other countries to ensure their safety. 
Most of the workers are offshore fishermen contracted with a Korean company.
