On Sep 5, World Federation of Trade Unions’ (WFTU) delegation led by Mzwandile Michael Makwayiba, WFTU President, visited Binh Duong provincial Labor Federation. To welcome and work with the delegation were Nguyen Hoang Thao, Permanent Deputy Secretary of Provincial Party Committee; leaders of provincial Labor Federation.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Thao said that Binh Duong had 29 industrial parks and 12 industrial clusters, attracting nearly 39,000 domestic enterprises and 3,700 FDI enterprises. The total number of workers is nearly 1.2 million, accounting for nearly 50% of the provincial population, of which female workers account for 57%, migrant workers account for 85%. Every year, the province needs to recruit about 50,000 additional workers. Mr. Thao affirmed that Vietnam Trade Union always accompanied the cause of national construction and development. Vietnamese Trade Unions are under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, in compliance with the laws of Vietnam. Vietnam Trade Union in general and Binh Duong's Trade Union in particular are always tied to WFTU for the common mission to build an increasingly sustainable world class of workers.

This was also the reason why WFTU chose Vietnam to host the WFTU Congress in 2021.
