The event is expected to be
a venue for the State’s intention to perfect policies on overseas Vietnamese
and the aspiration of Vietnamese nationals residing in other countries to make
contributions to the fatherland.
Over
the past years, the State has issued many important policies on visa exemption,
dual nationality, and house ownership in favor of overseas Vietnamese.
The
overseas Vietnamese community is always considered an indispensable part of the
Vietnamese nation.
