Workers to be sent for S Korean fishing industry
Myanmar plans to send workers for the fishing industry in South Korea as there is a demand for labour in that sector, said U Thein Win, director of the Migration Affairs Department under the Ministry of Labour, Immigration and Population. “We find our workers are joining fishing boats of neighbouring countries illegally. South Korea’s fishing industry offers better conditions and the wages are good. So, we are planning to send workers after giving them training,” U Thein Win told The Myanmar Times last week. He said that there was a demand for workers at South Korean fishing companies. This will be the first time Myanmar arranges to send fishermen to neighbouring countries legally, he added.
