At a meeting with representatives of the Overseas Vietnamese Association in the RoK, Mr. Nam briefed the participants on the Nationality Law and the draft Land Law and Housing Law (revised).
According to him, regarding the draft Land Law and Housing Law (revised), the commission suggested amendments to allow Overseas Vietnamese to have the right to inherit and receive land transfers outside housing development projects.
In addition, he said that SCOV recently held a discussion on policies and laws with the Vietnamese community in Europe. In the coming time, it is expected to hold a seminar on policy and law with the Vietnamese community in Northeast Asia, including the RoK.
Before 2011, about 30,000 people gave up their Vietnamese nationality to acquire Korean citizenship. There are also 66,000 Vietnamese students studying in the RoK, accounting for 44% of the total number of foreign students in the country.
The Ambassador proposed paying attention to forming a strong association of Vietnamese women who got married with Korean men, as well as fellow-countrymen associations to connect with localities in the homeland.
He also called on Vietnamese companies in RoK to pay attention to promoting Vietnamese products in the RoK.
Immediately after the meeting with representatives of overseas Vietnamese Associations in the RoK, Vice Chairman Ngo Huong Nam and Ambassador Nguyen Viet Anh witnessed the cooperation signing ceremony between the RoK’s Beauty Industry Competency Development Association and the Female Entrepreneur Association of the Vietnamese Small and Medium Businesses.
