The event drew the participation of hundreds of overseas Vietnamese. At the event, they were also informed policies of the Party and States and outstanding achievements of the country in recent times.
According to Ambassador Le Thi Tuyet Mai, Head of the Vietnam’s Permanent Mission to the UN, WTO and other international organisations in Geneva, Vietnam, with a stable macroeconomy, was among few countries posting GDP growth in the past two years. Registered foreign direct investment in Vietnam surged 123.8 percent in the first two months of this year, reflecting investment demand and expectations of foreign investors on the country’s economic recovery and development.
The Ambassador said that the country has successfully carried out the COVID-19 vaccine strategy, becoming one of the six countries reporting the highest vaccine coverage.
The State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs will arrange a trip for overseas Vietnamese to attend the death anniversary of Hung Kings on April 8, she informed.
She expressed her hope that overseas Vietnamese will support Vietnam’s post-pandemic recovery and a fund which helps fishermen in Truong Sa build vessels to continue clinging to the sea and protecting the country’s sovereignty.
Overseas Vietnamese can make donations until April 25, ahead of a programme to visit to Truong Sa, she said.
The diplomat committed that Vietnam’s Permanent Mission will continue to uphold its role of enhancing cooperation with international organisations in Geneva, and join hands with the community in Switzerland to promote the image of Vietnamese people and culture to local friends.
Overseas Vietnamese are called to make contributions to the country’s development, and strengthen cooperation between Vietnamese partners and agencies in Geneva and other Swiss localities, thereby deepening people-to-people exchanges./.
