More than 100 Vietnamese workers arrived in Finland on July 30 under a labour agreement between Finland ’s Riitan Herkku Company and Vinamex of Vietnam.

Representatives of the embassy welcomed the workers at the airport and provided them with necessary information to help them complete their work in the country.
Meeting the workers at the embassy, Ambassador Tran Ngoc An said he hoped the workers create a good image of Vietnamese workers through their unity, industriousness, and strict observation of the laws and regulations. He pledged to do his utmost to help the workers.
The employer, Riitan Herkku Company, is a leading fruit processing company in Finland , which was established in 1986 and has obtained an annual turnover of 26 million EUR.
