Hanoi (VNA) – Many Overseas of Vietnamese (OVs) have expressed their willingness to return home to serve the fatherland’s development, as they are attending the Fourth World Conference of the OVs in Hanoi from August 21 to 24.
Phuong Eric, a Vietnamese expat working at one of the world’s largest business management firms based in Germany, lauded Vietnam’s building of a strategy to develop the semiconductor industry towards future sustainable development.
The homeland, he said, is completing its legal regulations, mechanisms, and policies to improve investment and business climate, as well as penning mechanisms to lure tech enterprises, with the most incentives being applied for the semiconductor sector under the nation’s legal frameworks.
Praising Vietnam’s harmonious transport and production infrastructure, abundant labour force, and prestigious education and research establishments, he said despite the strategy’s feasibility, more detailed plans should be sketched out, including a more effective connection between domestic and foreign experts.
Many OV experts who have engaged in such key sectors and modern science, from electronics, biology, new materials, new energy and informatics to aviation, space science and oceanography, wish to make further contributions to the fatherland’s development, he said, adding they expect the Government to provide information on support policies for foreign intellects so that it will be easier for them to call for support, cooperation, and investment from the world’s leading specialists in the areas.
Eric also suggested the Government simplify administrative conditions and procedures for the OVs to return home to develop their business.
Meanwhile, Nguyen Duc Nghia, General Director of ANSCENTER, a leading firm in AI, industrial automation and software development in Australia, spoke highly of the homeland’s due attention to developing fundamental research over the past time, describing its mobilisation of resources for the semiconductor sector as a right direction.
That the country is making efforts to strengthen connection between domestic and foreign experts, invest in the development of a high-tech centre to lure leading specialists in the area means it is meticulously preparing for sustainable development in the future, he highlighted.
If attractive incentives are put in place, there will be more OVs returning home to contribute to the homeland’s development, Nghia said./.
