hopes on the upcoming 13th National Party Congress, expecting for
more effective policies and guidelines to support Vietnamese nationals who have always turned their hearts to the homeland.
Tran Van Bao, Chairman of the Khmer-Vietnamese Association in Battambang province, expressed his
pride when recalling Vietnam’s good control of the COVID-19 pandemic in the
past year, holding that under the sound leadership of the Party and State, the
country overcame a gloomy time when it was battered by both the outbreak and
serious flooding in the central region.
Bao said the Vietnamese expats are expecting that more practical support policies
will be adopted at the 13th National Party Congress to help them gain a legal status in Cambodia so as to ensure stable lives for their children as well as further
contributions to the homeland.
Besides, they wished for the better citizen protection work, as well as more assistance
in preserving Vietnamese traditional culture in foreign countries, he added.
Meanwhile, Le Thi Thuy Linh, a teacher in Siem Reap province, hoped that the
13th National Party Congress will outline rational policies to promote solidarity among
expatriates, while expecting for more programmes to support education for
younger generations so that they can integrate easily into the world.
According to Vietnamese Consul General in Battambang Le Tuan Khanh, at the
conference held at the end of 2020 to collect opinions of Vietnamese
citizens in Battambang, Siem Reap, Oddar Meanchey, Banteay Meanchey, Pursat and
Pailin provinces on draft documents to be submitted to the 13th National Party
Congress, they expressed their delight at the country’s achievements across
various sectors after 35 years of Doi Moi (Renewal), with high economic growth,
well-developed infrastructure, improved living conditions of people, and the country’s
increasing position and role on the international arena.
They have kept a close watch on the country’s development, and supported the
nation’s fight against corruption as well as policies to popularise the country’s
image and encourage patriotism among its citizens.
They do hope that the Party will have more practical and effective policies to create
favourable conditions for them to work and live in the host nation, ensuring
the Vietnamese expats are always an indispensable part of the great national
solidarity bloc, the diplomat added./.
