Fourteen Seasonal Workers from Nam Dinh Province Reach Jeju Island in South Korea

The first group of seasonal workers from Nam Dinh, a province in northern Vietnam, arrived in Jeju island, South Korea on July 13 as part of a cooperation agreement between the two local authorities, according to VNA. A total of 14 workers entered the country through Jeju International Airport under the Seasonal Worker Programme of the Korean Ministry of Justice.

Upon their arrival, the workers received training on emergency response, preventing human rights violations, and fighting crimes against foreign workers. They will be employed by local farms that have also been trained on regulations for hiring foreign workers under the programme.

The ageing population and low birthrate in South Korea have created a shortage of farm laborers. Therefore, the country is actively recruiting workers from other countries, such as Vietnam. Jeju island signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Nam Dinh province to address its labor shortage. Jeju island is responsible for assisting with the visa process and protecting the legal rights of foreign workers, while Nam Dinh province supports recruitment, training, dispatching, and receiving labor.

This year, Jeju island needs 867 foreign seasonal workers, and it has signed an agreement with Nam Dinh province for 264 workers. Vietnamese competent agencies are also working to increase the number of guest workers under the Employment Permit System (EPS). Last year, Vietnam sent nearly 9,000 workers to South Korea under the EPS programme, and it is expected that up to 10,000 workers will be sent this year. The workers will receive training to help them integrate into the host society.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.

Giant calligraphy hat breaks record as largest in Vietnam

Image
The work has been done on the initiative of Dao Thi Cam Suong, a calligrapher from Can Tho. The giant conical hat is made up of a total of 540 smaller conical hats, with calligraphy written on top. Suong has spent 89 days writing the calligraphy and finding connections to produce the finished product. The words written on the giant hat include sightseeing spots in Can Tho, folk songs, proverbs, poems, and the names of various provinces and cities across the country. She shares that the purpose of her work is to honour the beauty of the fatherland through pieces of calligraphy. Indeed, the giant hat is created from 540 small conical hats which themselves represent the country’s 54 ethnic minority groups. The diametre of the giant hat spans for more than eight metres, with the length from the tip to the brim roughly four meters and the length from the tip of the cone to the ground roughly six metres. The work has 14 rows of conical ha...
