Expatriates closely follow Party Congress
Doan Thi
Kim Hoa, Director of the Indochina Tourist Company, which has been
operating in Russia for 20 years, told Vietnam News Agency that she
believed the ongoing National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam
would conclude in success and bring out sound policies to encourage
overseas Vietnamese to contribute to the development of their native
land.
She said the Party Politburo resolution No.
36 on overseas Vietnamese has met home-sick expatriates’ demands and
aspirations. However, she recommended the Party and State consider
and work out better policies to put into full use the huge potential of
the overseas Vietnamese community in service of the national
development.
Nguyen Cao Cuong, President of the
over 2,000-strong Association of Vietnamese Students in Russia and a
young Party member, said the Party and State should create better
conditions for students to study abroad and return home to contribute to
national construction.
Talented students should
be given chances to go abroad for higher education and improve their
knowledge so that they will better contribute to the national
development after coming back, said the student leader in Russia.
Le Thi Nha, from a remote rural village in the midland province of
Phu Tho, who has worked as a housemaid in Russia since 2007, spoke
of her gratitude to the Party and State for doing a good job in poverty
alleviation.
“I expect that the Party will
continue with such a great effort to improve the living conditions for
the poor, people in remote areas and natural disaster victims,” said the
guest worker.
Nguyen The Sang, who runs a
business in Germany and is also President of the Poetry Lovers Club
and Vice Chairman of the Vietnamfoto Club, said every day after work, he
tried to access the internet and watch the central TV station (VTV4) to
follow the situation at home. The habit has become stronger since
January 12 when the Party Congress opened, Sang said.
The Party will certainly elect a talented and ethical leadership to
work out sound and long-term policies in order to speed up renewal and
advance the nation, said the businessman.
He said
his poetry club will hold a gala night in February to celebrate the
Lunar New Year Festival and the success of the Party Congress.
Chu Van Hoa, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam People’s Army Veterans’
Association in Berlin , Germany , said the Party Politburo
resolution No. 36 on overseas Vietnamese has worked in meeting
expatriates’ aspirations since it considers the overseas Vietnamese
community as an integral part of the nation.
“The
Vietnamese community in Berlin closely follows the Party Congress and
strongly believes that it will be wrapped up with success and the new
leadership will work out sound strategies and policies to help the
nation overcome challenges and difficulties to meet the target of
democracy and prosperity,” said the army veteran./.
