The congress reviewed its operations over the past three years, elected the new Executive Board for the new term and set out directions for activities in the coming time.
Speaking at the congress, President of the Overseas Vietnamese Association in India Nguyen Huynh Khanh Linh said that since its establishment in 2017, the association has provided updates on Vietnamese Party and State’s policies for Vietnamese in the host country.
The Vietnamese community in India always stays united, and its members help one another to overcome difficulties, contributing to the homeland’s development as well as the Vietnam-India relations through various forms, she added.
At the congress, Vietnamese Ambassador to India Nguyen Thanh Hai affirmed the Party and State’s consistent policy of taking the overseas Vietnamese community as an inseparable part and an important resource of the nation.
Accordingly, the embassy takes affairs relating to overseas Vietnamese as a focus and always supports them in strengthening their legal status, protecting their legitimate rights, and stabilising their lives and integrating into the host society, Hai added.
The congress elected a new executive board, including five members and Ms. Linh was re-elected as the President of the association.
There are currently 800-1,000 Vietnamese people living, working or studying in India./.
