Meanwhile, the Thai and South Korean leaders on Monday observed the signing of three memorandums of understanding (MoU), including one on the exchange of information on Thai labour exports to South Korea. The memorandum was signed between the Labour Ministry's Department of Employment and the South Korea Immigration Service in the hopes of tackling illegal labourers known as phi noi (little ghosts) in South Korea. Suchart Pornchaiwisetkul, chief of the Department of Employment, also held talks with South Korea Immigration Service authorities on how to proceed after the signing of the MoU.
