Addressing the function, Mr. Ninh reiterated Vietnam’s stance to pursue the policy of peace, national independence, multilateral diversification of international relations, and active international integration to achieve “rich people, a strong country, and a fair and civilized society.”

He said that the overseas Vietnamese community is an inseparable part of the Vietnamese nation. Thus, the Vietnamese Party and Government highly value the great contributions of overseas Vietnamese to national development and always attach importance to the community, including those living in Switzerland.
