According to the agency, the parties discussed the issues of phased resumption of labor migration processes. Detailed information was provided on the decrease in daily cases of coronavirus infection in Uzbekistan, as well as on the vaccination of the population.

The Korean side noted that they are planning to partially resume the inflow of labor migrants from Uzbekistan. “Those who have previously worked in South Korea and those who have completed a full course of vaccination will be given a privilege,” the Vice President said.

It was also added that strict adherence to quarantine rules plays an important role in ensuring the regular entry of labor migrants into the Republic of Korea.
