The Party Political Bureau’s resolution 36 on Overseas Vietnamese work has created an essential and strong change in the public awareness that “Overseas Vietnamese are an inseparable part and resource of the Vietnamese community”.

This was said by Luong Bach Van, Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front’s Ho Chi Minh City chapter at a conference in the city on August 25 to review six years’ implementation of resolution 36.

The biggest achievement of the Overseas Vietnamese work in Vietnam ’s largest economic hub was to gain the support of the administrations and mass organisations at all levels for the work, the HCM City chapter said.

As home to the country’s largest number of Overseas Vietnamese and big projects invested by Vietnamese expats, HCM City has considered the Overseas Vietnamese work as a responsibility of its entire political system and local people.

Since the Overseas Vietnamese Liaison Association was established in September 2006, it has to date set up its branches in the city’s 24 inner and outlying districts and even communes and wards.

HCM City has published a monthly bulletin called, “The fatherland with Overseas Vietnamese” with 1,000 copies and a handbook for overseas Vietnamese.

It has also launched the website: www.alov-hcmc.org.vn to provide updated information on the state’s policies related to the Overseas Vietnamese work and recently put into operation a centre to provide support for young expats and students studying abroad on their return to the homeland.

While noting what HCM City has done for Overseas Vietnamese, Van also pointed out that the city remains passive in its Overseas Vietnamese work as it has not yet taken the initiative in inviting talented expats to come back to take part in building the city during the international integration process./.
