At a meeting held here Tuesday, Sang reiterated that the party, state and government consider the Vietnamese community living abroad as an indispensable part of the country, and stressed the leaders’ willingness to consider opinions and recommendations from all people.
The meeting was held to review 10 years of implementing the Politburo’s resolution on affairs relating to expatriates.
It was to review achievements and weaknesses over the past ten years and discuss how to maximise the strength of national unity so that it is supported by the 4.5 million Vietnamese living and studying aboard.
“This is a chance to recognise the OVs’ contributions to turning Vietnam into a industrialised country by 2020 and create a strong, democratic and civilised nation,” Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh said at the event.
