ContextIOMโs mission in Viet Nam, operational since 1987, promotes safe and orderly migration while enhancing the welfare of Vietnamese people, especially migrant and mobile populations. With offices in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City, IOM works closely with the Vietnamese government on key areas such as preventing trafficking in persons, protecting migrant workers, and facilitating safe labour migration pathways. In addition, IOM addresses health-related migration issues and provides technical assistance to strengthen migration governance. Through international cooperation and capacity building, IOM helps ensure that migration contributes positively to Viet Nam's development, making it both safe and beneficial for all.
