He highlighted that the city will enhance the popularisation of the Party policies and the State laws as well as the country’s socio-economic situation to Vietnamese people living abroad.
At the conference, OV representatives suggested the city should renovate methods to lure OV resources. They said that HCM City needs to pay attention to Vietnamese students and workers in foreign countries while linking OV experts with domestic professionals to serve its socio-economic development in the context of deep integration.
According to statistics from the State Bank of Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City branch, the city received the flood of remittances worth over 5.5 billion USD in 2015. By November this year, the city welcomed 384,000 overseas Vietnamese.
The OVs have made great contributions to the city, presenting 200 scholarships to disadvantaged students and building ten bridges in rural areas.-VNA
