Fielding questions about Vietnam’s measures for attractingforeign investment, PM Chinh said Vietnam has an appropriate policy,competitive edges, and a stable legal system that matches its internationalcommitments. It is also stepping up administrative reforms, developing comprehensiveinfrastructure, forming a business climate suiting Vietnam and global trends,and gearing up high-quality human resources for investors to come to operate inthe country.

He underlined the Party and State’s attention to theattraction of intellectuals to the public sector, and that favourable materialand spiritual conditions are being created for those working in the publicsector.

He called on young people who have capability, will, andenthusiasm to engage in this sector, highlighting the welcome for anyone whowishes to work for the sake of themselves, their families, society, and thehomeland.

Regarding the treatment of dual nationals, the PM said notonly OVs but also foreigners in Vietnam are all treated as equally as domesticVietnamese.

The Party and State have issued many guidelines and policies onOVs, consistently affirmed that OVs are an integral part of the community ofVietnamese ethnic groups, and created conditions for consolidating the greatnational solidarity and helping OVs gain a firm legal status, settle down intheir host countries, and actively contribute to the homeland’s development, hewent on.

In terms of the popularisation of Vietnam’simages, the PM said Vietnam owns many proud features and despitea low starting point, it has never obtained a fortune, strength, stature, andprestige in the world like it does today after 35 years of reforms.
