PM Chinh made the remarks during a meeting with staff of the Vietnamese Embassy and representatives of the Vietnamese community in Malaysia as part his official visit to the country and attendance at the 46th ASEAN Summit and related high-level meetings in Kuala Lumpur.
He affirmed the Party and State’s support for overseas Vietnamese in securing legal status, building stable lives, and integrating into host societies. These efforts help strengthen national solidarity and encourage the Vietnamese diaspora to contribute to the homeland’s national construction and defense, PM Chinh said.
He asked the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to support Vietnamese language centers abroad, and tasked the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism with creating a plan to promote Vietnamese culture internationally.
Around 40,000 Vietnamese are living, studying, and working in Malaysia.
