Overseas Vietnamese share one thing in common: the hope that elected leaders will steer the country through challenges, and along the track of national development.
"Vietnam has developed from a poor country to a middle-income country over the past 30 years. Vietnam is actively involved in global integration. I hope that the National Party Congress will unite people under one vision, to contribute to national development. I hope elected leaders will guide the country toward modernization and prosperity." - Nguyen Quoc Hung, Representative, Science and Technology Association, Russia.
"Like other overseas Vietnamese, we put our trust in the National Party Congress. We hope that chosen leaders will make the country prosperous, and develop the country to its full potential." - Nguyen Tien Khoi, Deputy Chairman, Vietnamesse Veterans Association, Berlin, Germany.
"We hope that the 12th National Party Congress will choose talented and virtuous leaders with a long-term vision to serve the Vietnamese people and come up with policies that support development in education, the economy, and national security." - Lam Ngoc Hung, Head, Vietnamese Alumni of Laos National University.
"I hope the National Party Congress will care more about overseas Vietnamese, especially about enterprises investing abroad. I hope that Vietnamese investors will receive more support, so they can bring back remittances and contribute more to the country." - Trinh Xuan Quang, General Secretary, Associaition of Vietnamese Investors in Laos.
"Under the current context of global integration, Vietnam needs a more open and transparent environment. This will help encourage and attract intellectuals to contribute to the country’s prosperity. This is the global trend, and Vietnam is no different." - Hoang Anh Tuan, Hanoi National University.
The 12th National Party Congress will take place from January 21st - 28th. The event is particularly important because the country is at a critical point in its development.
