She said the overseas Vietnamese community serves as a vital bridge between Vietnam and the world while directly contributing to national development and defense.
Ms. Hang made the remarks at a conference in Hanoi on Friday to study and implement Resolution 23 on overseas Vietnamese affairs and Conclusion 49 on continuing the implementation of Directive 32 to strengthen and improve the effectiveness of the Party’s foreign relations in the new context.
