Top legislator met with representatives of Vietnamese communities in Europe

NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue had a meeting with the Vietnamese communities in Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Turkey, Czech Redpublic and Slovakia.

Noting that the Vietnam-Bulgaria partnership in politics-diplomacy has been fruitful, but bilateral trade and investment cooperation has remained modest, the NA leader said that his visit will focus on beefing up trade and investment ties between the two countries and boosting locality-to-locality cooperation.

He briefed the community on the situation at home andaffirmed the Party and State’s consistent policy of considering the Vietnamese community abroad as an inseparable part and great resources of the Vietnamese nation.

He expressed his delight as Slovakia has become the second country after the Czech Republic to recognise the Vietnamese community as an ethnic minority group.

He said he hopes the Vietnamese community abroad will continue to promote solidarity and mutual support, maintain and develop the mother tongue and cultural identity, and making more contributions to the national development.

The NA leader affirmed that the Party and State are working hard to complete policies and laws regarding overseas Vietnamese in order to better ensure their legitimate rights and interest.

On the occasion, NA Chairman Hue witnessed the launch of an education promotion fund by the Vietnamese community in Bulgaria and cut the ribbon to inaugurate the Fatherland Garden – a venue for exhibition of Vietnamese products./.
