Overseas Vietnamese to get TV, radio news
The project aims
to provide information on policies of the Party and State, achievements
of the doi moi (renewal) period and Vietnamese foreign affairs and the
economy, as well as projects to attract international investment,
tourism and trade promotion and the country’s integration with
Vietnamese citizens abroad.
It is also to expand
high-quality and multi-form television and radio services on the
Internet to make it more suitable to the country’s socio-economic
condition and the world’s latest information technology.
It will strive to cover all of the main areas and ensure that about one
million people have daily access to the Internet broadcast system, which
can simultaneously serve about 150,000 to 200,000 users.
During the past years, the overseas Vietnamese community has made
significant contributions to the country’s industrialisation and
modernisation and the strengthening of its solidarity.
Their anticipated demand for information in Vietnamese via official
means and channels of communication is likewise expected to increase.
About 4.5 million Vietnamese are currently living abroad.-VNA
