Vietnamese in Russia’ Kursk region still safe
Around 100 Vietnamese labourers working at the "Hanoi" garment factory - the largest group of Vietnamese working near conflict zones in Russia's Kursk oblast, have been still working hard to ensure timely delivery of products to customers, despite the ongoing conflict in border areas between Russia and Ukraine.
Located near Zheleznogorsk city, about 120 km from the centre of Kursk province and about 140 km from the conflict zone, the road leading to the factory shows almost no signs of the nearby conflict.
Inside the garment factory, three production lines are still operating as usual. Workers are busy sewing and processing winter clothing items to meet the market demand.
Nong Minh Duc, who has been working at the factory for two years, said the situation has largely remained unchanged since the news of the conflict.
Nguyen Thanh Bao, manager of the factory, said the situation there is still stable, adding that everyone is focused on their work, and the company has not been negatively affected.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Russia is maintaining daily contacts with representatives of the Vietnamese community in Kursk to keep updated on information related to overseas Vietnamese there.
