upcoming 13th National Party Congress to judiciously select competent
leaders to lead the country over the course of the next five years, Tran Ba
Phuc, President of the Vietnam Business Association in Australia, has said.
In an interview granted to the Vietnam News
Agency (VNA)’s reporter in Sydney, Phuc, who is also a member of the Vietnam Fatherland
Front Central Committee, said that Vietnamese people living overseas have made
substantial contributions to the country’s socio-economic development and
culture.
He expressed his hope that the Party and State
will issue policies enabling representatives of Vietnamese communities abroad
to participate in powerful State agencies and have their voices heard.
Phuc proposed that the Party and State create
the most favourable conditions possible for Vietnamese overseas who wish to
keep their Vietnamese nationality or be re-naturalised in Vietnam.
He also expected that the Party and State will direct
the implementation of a resolution recognising the role of the private sector,
to be able to assess and support the sector and make it an important driver in the
country’s economic development.
Vietnam has recorded important achievements and
breakthroughs in the five years of implementing the resolution of the 12th National Party Congress, improving the country’s prestige, role, and position
in the international arena, he said.
A Vietnamese passport has never been as
valuable and meaningful to Vietnamese people living abroad as it is now, Phuc
stressed./.
