The Ministry of Justice and the South Jeolla Provincial Government have agreed to strengthen the province s migrant worker pool by amending the country s visa policies.
Introducing a new central government agency dedicated to Korea s immigration policies is apparently gaining momentum after Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon returned from Europe where he studied the migrant policies of advanced countries. Han met with key immigration policymakers in France, Germany and the Netherlands during his trip from March 7 to Wednesday. Upon his return, the minister said in a statement that the economic and political leaders of Europe place high priority on immigration policies.
