U.S. — Vietnam Labor Dialogue

The U.S. —Vietnam Labor Dialogue was established through a Memorandum of Understanding in 2000 between the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the Vietnamese Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA), and extended through Letters of Understanding signed in August 2006 and August 2008. The Dialogue was established to provide a forum for the two sides to discuss labor issues, given the absence of labor provisions in the U.S. — Vietnamese Bilateral Trade Agreement. OIR staffs and leads DOL participation in the Dialogue.
