A conference to review the cooperation between the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee and the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese (OV) Affairs in the 2010-2016 period and seek measures to foster their affiliation in the next five years was held in Hanoi on December 27.
Deputy Prime Minister (PM) and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh and Chairman of the VFF Central Committee Nguyen Thien Nhan chaired the conference.
Speaking at the event, Deputy PM Minh noted that the majority of Vietnamese people abroad are successful in their careers and lives with high qualifications, who are a great brainpower source for the home country.
The Deputy PM stressed the need to call for OV, especially younger generations, to return to serve the development process in their homeland.
He also highlighted the important role of effective communications and stronger cooperation between the VFF and the State Committee for OV Affairs.
The Deputy PM also told a few of shortcomings in cooperation between the two agencies in the recent years, including the limitations in popularising the Party and State’s policies, the exchange of information and providing domestic organisations with guidelines related to OV affairs.
He suggested that the two agencies should coordinate together more closely to advise the Government on policies and solutions to ensure the legal rights of OV and encourage them to make more contributions to the country’s development.
Deputy PM Minh stressed that the two agencies should continue to carry out the agreed contents in the coordination programme, while working together in revising legal documents and policies related to OV, thus proposing timely amendments and supplements for 2016-2020 period.
Along with jointly organising activities for OV, the two sides should provide instructions for local competent agencies and other political-social organisations in the work, he said, asking them to support OV in religious and belief activities both abroad and at home.
Addressing the conference, Chairman of the VFF Central Committee Nguyen Thien Nhan held that the organisation of meetings for OV in the homeland should be coordinated more closely between the two sides.
VFF Chairman suggested the hosting of a meeting with OV during the upcoming Lunar New Year Festival to collect their feedback.
Chairman Nhan affirmed that 4.5 million OV are an inseparable part of the country and authorities must adopt measures to help OV have better lives and encourage them to return to the homeland.
He confirmed that from 2017, the VFF will hold regular meetings with OV experts, scientists, scholars and intellectuals to listen to their opinions.
Chairman Nhan stressed the need to encourage OV come back to the homeland to establish startups and organise more art performances and contests to strengthen the preservation and promotion of Vietnamese cultural identity among OV communities.
